Massive Crowd in Maiduguri as Pastor Paul Enenche Leads Revival Crusade
By: Zagazola Makama
A mammoth crowd of Christian worshippers gathered in Maiduguri for a revival crusade led by renowned Nigerian pastor, Dr. Paul Enenche, General Overseer of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Abuja.
The crusade, titled “Ignited: A Fire of Revival in Borno State,” saw thousands of Christians from across the North East convene for a night of prayers, worship, and spiritual upliftment in the heart of a city once at the center of insurgency.
Symbol of Peaceful Coexistence
The event, held without incident, served as a indication to the improving security situation in Borno and the resilience of the Christian community in the region. Worshippers sang, prayed, and listened to sermons focused on hope, unity, and faith despite past security challenges.
The gathering also comes amid recent clarifications by the Federal Government refuting allegations that Christians are being deliberately targeted in Nigeria especially in the North East.
Government officials have dismissed such claims as misleading narratives aimed at influencing foreign governments, particularly the United States, to designate Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC).
Faith Over Fear
Many attendees described the crusade as a historic moment for Christians in the North East, emphasizing their right to practice their faith freely.
“This is a sign that peace is returning to Borno. The presence of this large number of Christians, worshipping at night in Maiduguri without fear, is a powerful message,” said Deborah Musa, a worshipper from Yobe State.
Another attendee, Pastor James Buba, praised the Dunamis International Gospel Centre for organizing the crusade, saying it has rekindled hope among believers in the region.
Despite past insurgency threats, Borno State has witnessed religious tolerance and restoration of peace, allowing such large-scale religious gatherings to take place safely.
The Federal Government has repeatedly maintained that Nigeria upholds religious freedom and that violence affecting communities is largely due to criminal activities and terrorism, rather than state-sponsored persecution. Officials have urged both local and international observers to avoid narratives that exaggerate religious divisions in the country.
As the revival ended, worshippers left the venue with renewed faith and optimism, seeing the event as a milestone in Borno’s path to peace and religious harmony.
