PATRICK ABANG, Calabar –
Leader of the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, Olumba Olumba Obu has declared the International All Ordained Ones Fellowship open.
The fellowship is marking its 63th anniversary with the theme: “Ordained Ones Vessel of Honour in Olumba Supreme Temple”..
Olumba charged the brethren to use the week to exhibit the virtues of the Holy Father.
“As children of the kingdom, you are required to stand up as foreberers of the kingdom”.
Meanwhile, most persons travelling to parts of Cross River State, especially the state capital, Calabar are being diverted from passing through any parts of South-Eastern states as a result of threats by the indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) which warned people to stay indoors as President Muhammadu Buhari visits Imo State today.
Addressing his members in Calabar on Thursday, Archbishop John Onyekwere, the chairman of International All Ordained Ones meeting Fellowship who are converging in Calabar for their annual week celebration, said “I am expecting members to arrive Calabar for the celebration, most of them from all over Nigeria, including the five Eastern states.
“I have advised them to postpone their arrival till Friday or divert through Port Harcourt. You are aware of arrival of Mr President to Owerri and the sit at home threat by IPOB. Our satelite states like Anambra, ,Imo, Enugu, Abia, Owerri can move early morning Friday. Every one should avoid eastern states today.”
Matilda Ekpenyong who was leaving Onitsha by Bus, told our correspondent that drivers were advised to rather pass through Port Harcourt instead of Owerri and Umuahia because of security situation in parts of the eastern states.
