LAST Tuesday a suspense filled atmosphere was created at the gate of the Akwa Ibom State Government House when a messenger dressed in a Brotherhood of the Cross and Star all white garment who introduced himself as a prophet of Olumba Olumba Obu stormed the place and asked to see the Governor as he has a message for the State Chief Executive from the sole Spiritual head of the Universe.
The messenger did not disclosed whether it was the Roland Obu faction or the sister to Roland Ibum Olumba Obu faction that sent him on the errand but he acknowledged that the Governor is being wanted by Obu at the headquarters of the Church located along Ambo Way in Calabar, the Cross River State Capital. He is said to have arrived in the early hours of the evening after the close of work. He was dressed in all white and carried a stick painted in the white and green colours as pictured and refused to mention his name when he was accosted by Security men attached to the Wellington Bassey Way end of the Government House. He responded to questions asked him using the Efik/Ibibio Vernacular.
The Prophet when asked what message he has for the Governor said, the sole Spiritual head of the Universe, Olumba Olumba Obu had asked him to inform Governor Godswill Akpabio that he should report immediately to the headquarters of the church for his interest. When he was denied entry by the Security personnel, the Olumba Olumba emissary informed that for the mere fact that he was there at the gate but denied entry that the Governor has already gotten the message. He said the Governor knows what to do and that he should come to Ambo headquarters of the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star to answer certain questions.
Suspecting that the unusual visit has a lot to do with the 2015 gubernatorial election in the state, the Olumba Olumba Obu emissary was asked who is behind the message to Akpabio apart from the Ambo headquarters but he declined response. When asked if he knows Bishop Akpan, the emissary retorted that Bishop Akpan is a common name and that there are many people that go by the name. To further press on, he was asked if he knows Bishop Sam Akpan. In his response he said, Bishop Akpan is someone whom he does not know for now and went political in his responses and reaffirmed his earlier position that the Governor Godswill Akpabio knows he is already there.
Sources are however of the opinion that Akpabio may have gone into a pact with OOO and is likely going to renege on that pact and as a result of that Olumba had to send him a reminder. Another source who interacted with our reporter on that matter informed that Akpabio in his quest for power must have patronized the services of the spiritual head and that with the recent, message sent to him and acknowledged that he is aware, chances are that the Governor will visit the Ambo capital seat of the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star sooner than later to sort himself out of whatever agreement he had with Olumba Olumba Obu.
It could be recalled that Governor Akpabio was once described as a very strong and active member of Olumba Olumba Obu only for the Governor to openly identify with the Catholic Church. But however what many are watching to see is the outcome of the emissaries sent to the Governor allegedly from the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star.
