Praise God — especially when you’re under federal indictment.
Mayor Eric Adams solicited prayers from the city’s faithful during back-to-back church visits Sunday, defiantly vowing not to resign and instead claiming, “I’m going to reign” — two days after he was arraigned on sweeping federal corruption charges.
An animated Adams first raved about his love for Jesus while speaking to the congregation of the Emmanuel Presbyterian Reformed Church in The Bronx for about a half-hour — after which he refused to answer reporters’ questions.
“God placed me in this moment and placed in my heart to continue to move this city forward,” he said.
“And so you’ll hear the small number of loud people saying, ‘But he should step down.’ No, I’m going to step up. I’m not going to resign. I’m not going to resign. I’m going to reign.”
Adams then hoofed it to Staten Island, where a group of clergy rallied with him inside Mt. Sinai United Christian Church.
