NYC Mayor Eric Adams refuses to resign in sermon: ‘I have a mission to finish’
New York City Mayor Eric Adams made a bold statement to churchgoers on Sunday, declaring that he is on a divine mission and will not resign from his position despite facing allegations of a quid pro quo with the Trump administration. During a sermon at Maranatha Baptist Church in Queens, Adams emphasized his commitment to fulfilling the mission that he believes God has set out for him.
“I am going nowhere,” Adams told the congregation, as reported by the New York Post. “I have a mission to finish, the mission that God put me on many years ago. God has fortified me.”
In a recent interview on “Fox & Friends,” Adams confirmed his intentions to seek re-election as a Democrat. This decision comes amidst ongoing legal challenges, as the mayor was indicted in September on charges ranging from bribery to wire fraud. Despite pleading not guilty to all counts, Adams has faced scrutiny and criticism from various quarters.
The controversy surrounding Adams escalated when the case against him was dropped, with accusations of political interference and a quid pro quo arrangement with the Trump administration. Several senior officials at the Justice Department resigned in protest over the decision to dismiss the charges against Adams, citing concerns about political influence in the legal process.
Despite mounting pressure to step down, Adams remains steadfast in his resolve to continue serving as mayor. Refusing to give in to calls for his resignation, Adams reiterated his commitment to staying in office and fulfilling his duties.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul has expressed concerns about the allegations against Adams but has emphasized the need for a careful and thorough review of the situation before taking any decisive action. As the only official with the authority to remove Adams from office, Hochul is deliberating on the best course of action in response to the allegations.
In the midst of these challenges, Adams has vowed to press on and fulfill his responsibilities as mayor. With the support of his faith and determination, he remains focused on serving the people of New York City and carrying out the mission that he believes he was called to fulfill.
The unfolding saga involving Mayor Adams underscores the complexities and controversies that can arise in the political arena. As the situation continues to evolve, it remains to be seen how Adams will navigate the challenges ahead and whether he will emerge stronger from this ordeal.
