The Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Center, DIGC, Dr Paul Enenche, has called on the Nigerian government to conduct a credible population census to establish which religion has the larger following in the country.

Enenche made the call on Sunday while responding to recent controversial comments by Islamic cleric Sheikh Yahya Jingir, who claimed that Muslims are more numerous than Christians in Nigeria.

The pastor questioned why the country had not conducted a reliable census that could provide clarity on the religious composition of its population.

“If you think you are superior, why didn’t you people allow for the census all these while”, he asked while delivering a sermon at the church’s headquarters in Abuja.

Enenche urged the Federal Government to conduct what he described as a credible census, arguing that Nigerians should be allowed to openly identify their religious beliefs.

He suggested that the outcome of such an exercise could produce surprising results, particularly in areas where one religious group is assumed to be dominant.

He said, “credible census let everybody tell you what they believe in then you will be shocked that where you think you come from, there are Christians almost dominating in that place”.

He warned that “nobody should take Christian in this country for granted. Don’t take the church in Nigeria for granted. This is a warning to all of you who think that the church can be taken for granted.

“They are not tired of bloodshed, they are not tired of destroying the nation. Ask yourself, what have you contributed to the development of this nation? Shame on you and everything you represent.”
