Popular cleric and founder of Mountain of Liberation and Miracles Ministry, Pastor Chris Okafor, has shared a personal message celebrating his biological father, stating, “May our parents live long to see us shining.”
The statement, which accompanied a photograph of the pastor with his father, has drawn public attention coming amid recent controversy surrounding the cleric and Nollywood actress Doris Ogala.
In recent weeks, Ogala had made allegations against Pastor Okafor on social media, claims that quickly sparked widespread debate and reactions across online platforms. The pastor, however, has strongly denied the allegations, describing them as false and misleading, while insisting on his innocence. No court ruling has been delivered on the matter as of the time of reporting.
Observers say the latest post appears to be a deliberate shift toward projecting family values and personal grounding at a time when the pastor’s name has remained prominent in public discourse. Supporters have interpreted the message as a reminder of parental sacrifice and legacy, while critics continue to demand clarity over the unresolved controversy.
Despite the ongoing scrutiny, Pastor Okafor has continued his ministerial activities, maintaining public appearances and engagements with members of his congregation.
As discussions around the allegations persist online, the cleric’s message has reignited conversations about reputation, family support, and resilience under public pressure, highlighting the complex intersection of faith leadership and celebrity-driven controversies in Nigeria’s social media space.
