The Generational Prophet and Senior Pastor of Grace Nation Worldwide, Dr Chris Okafor, has withdrawn the public apology he recently issued in response to allegations made against him by a faded actress and certain social media influencers.
The allegations claimed, among other things, that he had promised marriage to an aggrieved woman. Dr Okafor has consistently described the claims as untrue.
Explaining his initial decision to apologise, the cleric said the move was made in an effort to calm tensions and shield his mentors and spiritual fathers, whom he said were being unfairly attacked on social media without verified facts. He also noted that conflicting advice from some associates influenced his earlier stance.
However, after reviewing the interpretation and implications of the apology, Dr Okafor stated that he concluded it was inappropriate to apologise for actions he insists he did not commit.
“If there was any apology, I withdraw it,” he said. “The allegations against me are false and amount to blackmail. It is wrong for me to apologise for what I did not do.”
He further expressed confidence that the truth has begun to emerge, adding that he would refrain from making further comments as the matter is now before the court.
“The court will determine who is lying and who is blackmailing,” he said.
April 16, 2026, has been fixed by the High Court of Nigeria for a final declaration on the matter.
