Faith Based Group Wants Nigeria Returned To 12 States

A faith based organization, the Brotherhood of the Cross and Stars has advocated the return of Nigeria to 12 states as against the present 36 as part of solutions to myriad of challenges confronting the country.

The religious body founded by the Sole Spiritual Head of the Universe, popularly known as Olumba Olumba Obu said there is a way out of the country’s problems

The International Chairman, Archbishop David Irefin stated this in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti state capital while addressing newsmen on the body’s three-day evangelical mission to the state.

“Professor Irefin said that Olumba has the blueprints to all the problems facing the country, particularly economic and insecurity but expects people to come to him first.

“Nigeria needs to return to the old National Anthem and the former 12 states to make the federation”.

He noted that the misconception about Jesus Christ and Olumba prompted them to embark on an evangelical mission in the state to preach and spread the gospel of Olumba.

Irefin clarified that the misconception about the brotherhood, which he said means oneness, explained that it was the reason the Olumba couldn’t belong to any religious association.

He said, “Programmes lined up for the week include courtesy visits to many dignitaries in the state including, traditional rulers, educational institutions, Administrators and the political leaders.

“Other activities include humanitarian services, fasting, prayers and evangelical outreach among others.”

Debunking the rumour surrounding his death, he said he is very much alive and currently resides in Calabar, Cross Rivers.

Responding, the Chairman, Nigeria Union of Journalists, Ekiti State Council, Comrade Rotimi Ojomoyela assured of the readiness of journalists in the state to give them needed support as requested to make their mission to the state a successful one.
