Our Spiritual Leader, Olumba Olumba Obu Is Alive And Well — BCS
- Debunks death rumours as ‘wicked’
- Tasks media on ethical concerns
BY UBON EKANEM, CALABAR – The Brother of the Cross and Star (BCS) says their Spiritual Leader, His Holiness Olumba Olumba Obu, is well and alive.
Consequently, the Organisation has described as ‘wicked’ and unfortunate rumours of the Leader’s so-called death in the social media.
Speaking at the annual celebration of the Great Feast of the Lamb, organized as part of activities marking the BCS Leader’s birthday, His Holiness Olumba Olumba Obu prayed for peace in the families and Nigeria at large.
Obu tasked adherents of the Faith to always embrace love as the greatest weapon against hate and all divisive tendencies.
According to him, false rumours have the tendency of spreading like wild fire and Christians should endeavour to imbibe the lessons of love as demonstrated by the teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ during his travails in the hands of the Jews.
He said as a spiritual organisation, the BCS has faced various forms of false accusations, adding that by now adherents should be comforted by the fact that such acts are based on ignorance of their teachings and what the organisation represents.
His Holiness Olumba Olumba Obu, who is the Grand Patron of the Nigeria Union of Journalists NUJ, tasked media practitioners to see their job as a sacred duty which should be approached with serious level of ethical concerns.
The Chairman of NUJ, Cross River State Council, Comrade Archibong Bassey, who led members on a solidarity visit to their patron, said it is surprising to note that mischief makers can intentionally choose to mislead the public with fabricated reports.
Comrade Archibong said several reports in the public domain suggested that His Holiness Olumba Olumba Obu is death, while others stated that he is suffering from cancer and had been flown abroad for treatment.
The NUJ Chairman further stated that having interacted with their Patron physically, efforts would be made to let the world know the truth.
Highlight of the visit was when NUJ members took turns to have ‘golden handshakes’ with the BCS Spiritual Leader.
