The founder and Senior Pastor of the Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC), Matthew Ashimolowo on Saturday said clergymen who own private jets could be saving lots of monies for their congregations.
Speaking as a guest on Channels Television’s weekend programme, Sunrise, Mr Ashimolowo accused the media of blowing out of proportion the recent acquisition of a private plane by a Nigerian pastor insisting that only few out of the myriads of clergy in the country own jets.
“Out of probably 20 million clergy, there may not be more than six’’ who own private jets, the swashbuckling tele-evangelist said.
“There is a blowing out of proportion by the media because six people out of 20 million is not a large proportion. Then when you take those four or six individuals look at their itinerary and find out is it even saving money for their organisation to have it or is it costing the organisation,” Mr Ashimolowo said.
