The government in a statement by Apostle K. C. Wiper, Special Assistant on Religious Matters to the Abia State Governor, informed the general public that His Excellency, Dr. Alex Otti, has neither approved the lifting of ban earlier placed on the 2024 annual convention nor endorsed anyone as General Overseer.
“It is important to state categorically that the Governor has no role in selecting leadership for the Church, or any church for that matter,” the statement added.
