Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo has sparked controversy by comparing singer Shina Peters' financial decisions to those of Zenith Bank founder Jim Ovia.
Ashimolowo said, "Shina Peters had N20 million, he built a house and Jim Ovia had N20 million and started a bank.
One man is now fixing leaking roofs, broken toilets, door when nor dey shot anymore and the other one, every country I go to in Africa, I see a branch. I was in Ghana, Zenith everywhere.
I was in ten African countries, Zenith everywhere. I am speaking into somebody’s life now, delay your gratification and God will lift you up".
Shina Peters responded, saying Ashimolowo's statement was false and derogatory but chose not to take legal action, citing his dedication to the body of Christ.
