The General Overseer of Omega Power Ministries (OPM), Apostle Chibuzor Gift Chinyere, has announced the suspension of the planned wedding of his adopted daughter, Chiemeka Chibuzor.
In a statement issued under his royal title, HRM King Apostle Chibuzor Gift Chinyere, the pastor revealed that more than a thousand applications had been received from prospective suitors. He declared that the wedding would no longer proceed as initially planned, pending further directives from him.
The announcement comes just weeks after the OPM leader facilitated the marriage of his autistic adopted son, a move that generated widespread public debate. His latest decision has once again drawn attention to the church’s unique approach to supporting adopted children, particularly those living with disabilities.
Supporters of the pastor argue that his actions demonstrate a commitment to safeguarding the future of vulnerable individuals by ensuring they are not left without care or protection. Critics, however, continue to raise questions about the framing of marriage arrangements and the importance of respecting personal autonomy.
By suspending the wedding, Apostle Chibuzor has signaled that the process will be carefully reconsidered, with further instructions to be issued at a later date. The development underscores the ongoing conversation about faith, family, and the responsibilities of religious leaders in shaping the lives of those under their care.
