Pastor Chris Okotie has reacted to Emeka Ike’s outburst that he was
responsible for his marital crisis, disclosing that he has nothing to do
with the actor’s wife.
On Thursday, the Nollywood
actor-cum-producer had accused the general overseer of Household of God
Church, as being the architect behind the ongoing crisis in his
12-year-old marriage.
Emeka in an official press statement on
Thursday, disclosed that the pastor absolved his wife into his church
without his consent and all efforts to get in touch with him had been
abortive.
He further alleged that Okotie hired a lawyer on his
wife’s behalf to speed up their divorce, noting that it was totally
unreasonable for one’s pastor to be involved in destruction of something
he should try to mend.
Reacting to this through a media advisor
in a telephone chat, Okotie quizzically told Ike that his claims were so
baseless that he could not justify them in a simple comment.
“There
is nothing to what he is saying. It is total rubbish. What is he
saying? Why would a pastor be interested in his domestic issue?
Will he say he wants to marry the woman?
“What
kind of man will lay such claims on the internet? Why is it that
anytime any of them have issues, they always want to drag Okotie in?
“Responding to the outburst will only make this guy feel important. Well, this pastor can’t dignify him with any,” Okotie added.
