Rita Edochie reacts to rumour of dumping Odumeje for another prophet

Actress Rita Edochie has reacted to a rumour about her falling out with controversial preacher Prophet Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere aka Odumeje.

The speculations started after many noticed that the actress no longer hypes the prophet whom she often refers to as her spiritual father on social media. She also did not celebrate him on his birthday thanksgiving service on November 12.

Rita was also visibly absent at the event which was attended by some of her colleagues including Kanayo O. Kanayo, Jerry Amilo and filmmaker Mac Collins Chidebe.

Meanwhile, the Mami Wata star has been posting videos on Instagram frolicking with another cleric who goes by the name of Prophet Ebuka.

Her actions, however, led many to believe that she had fallen out with the clergyman whom she shares a close friendship with.

But on Tuesday, the Anamabr-born star shared a video of herself on Instagram, attending a service at Odumeje’s church in Onitsha to shut down the rumour.

Rita stated that many people claimed she had left Odumeje due to her association with other clerics and being a Catholic by birth does not deny her the right to seek spiritual counsel elsewhere or associate with a “Man of God.”

She wrote: “THEY SAID I HAVE LEFT MY GREAT PROPHET ODUMEJEJE…WHY????? WHY ????? THERE’S NO DOUBT MOST OF YOU ARE IN DIRE NEED OF ONLINE RELEVANCE BUT IT’S VERY UNFORTUNATE THAT I AM WAY BUSY TO GRANT SUCH.
BY BIRTH, I AM A CATHOLIC, DEEPLY ROOTED TILL TOMORROW, BUT THIS DOESN’T DENY ME THE RIGHT TO IDENTIFY WITH EVERY GOOD MAN OF GOD THAT IS DOING WELL.”

Rita described both Odumeje and prophet Ebuka as great prophets and would never stop identifying with them.

“ODUMEJEJE IS A GREAT PROPHET BROTHER EBUKA OBI IS A GREAT PROPHET AS WELL. I HAVE A TRAILER LOAD OF THEM. ALL OVER THR WORLD AND NEVER WILL I STOP IDENTIFYING WITH THEM. IF YOU’RE SO PAINNED, KUAA ISI NA WALL… HUG TRANSFORMER BECAUSE CHRISTIANITY AND WORSHIP HAS NO LIMITATIONS. MIND YOUR BUSINESS,” Rita wrote.
