Ossai Success Ovie, an aide to the Delta state governor, has openly criticized the guest list at the birthday party of popular Abuja-based pastor, Jerry Eze. Pastor Eze, who recently celebrated his 42nd birthday, hosted a grand event over the weekend attended by prominent politicians, socialites, and businessmen.
In a post shared on his Facebook page this morning, October 7, Ossai expressed disappointment with some of the guests invited to the party, particularly certain businessmen. According to him, it was inappropriate for a religious figure like Pastor Eze to invite individuals whose reputations or backgrounds might not align with the values the cleric should uphold.
Ossai’s opinion sparked discussions online, with some agreeing with his stance, while others felt the birthday celebration was a personal event and should not be judged by the attendees. Despite the differing opinions, the event itself was a high-profile celebration, drawing attention from various corners of the country.
As public figures, especially religious leaders, are often held to higher standards, Ossai’s comments highlight the ongoing debate about the company such individuals should keep and the influence that might have on their image and message.
He wrote;
”Pastor Jerry Eze shouldn’t have invited E-Money and Obi Cubana to his birthday.
This is disappointing
We all know E-Money and Cubana aren’t genuinely Christians, considering their lifestyles.
Just as Bishop David Oyedepo didn’t invite them to his birthday despite their celebrity status, Pastor Jerry Eze, Lead Pastor of Streams of Joy International, shouldn’t have invited them, as this puts his faith into question.
If this guys were to be poor living a worldly lifestyle, I don’t think he would have invited them or associated himself with them but then they are rich Popular celebrities
In the Bible, 2 Corinthians 6:14 states, “Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?”
It’s disappointing that Pastor Jerry invited E-Money and Obi Cubana without encouraging them to commit to Jesus Christ.
The birthday celebration should have been an opportunity to win souls for God, but after watching the birthday videos, I didn’t see E-Money or Obi Cubana give their lives to Jesus Christ.”
