The national leadership of the Cherubim and Seraphim Unification Church of Nigeria has said plans are underway to elect a new executive that would assume the helm of affairs in its Ondo State chapter.
The Chairman National Executive Council (NEC) Elder Emmanuel Owomoyela, who made this known in a voice note obtained by this platform on Friday, disclosed that there was no leadership crisis in the chapter.
He also confirmed that the chapter’s immediate past executive which was inaugurated in 2011 had been dissolved following its refusal to leave office after its three-year tenure ended.
He said, “As the chairman of the national executive council, I make bold to say categorically that, officially, there is no leadership crisis in the Ondo state chapter of the church. As a matter of fact, the executive committee of the Ondo state chapter which was inaugurated in 2011, has been dissolved following its refusal to leave office at the end of its three-year term which was extended by itself and until now has refused to leave office, despite the fact that the national secretariat had written to them to let them know that they were no longer recognized as the executive committee for the state chapter.”
He noted that a 21-member committee led by one Special Apostle Sebolatan of the C&S Movement Church had been set up to work out the modalities that would birth a new leadership in the chapter.
The NEC chairman, however, called on the general public to dismiss the claims of an alleged assassination attempt on the life of one Prophet Kerubu Oluwagbemi.
Owomoyela said the cleric’s basis of linking the assassination attempt on his life to the C&S unification church was malicious, derogatory and designed to smear the reputation of the church which he claimed to be a leader.
According to him, it was on record that the said Prophet Kerubu was not a member of the dissolved committee neither was he an occupant of any office that showed him to be a prominent member of the Ondo state chapter.
While reaffirming that no leadership tussle existed in the state chapter, Elder Owomoyela assured that the issue of constitution plaguing the chapter was being addressed.
He appealed to members of the chapter to remain calm and await the dawn of a new era, as a new executive committee would emerge as soon as the working committee round off its assignment.
