Speaking on Hitz FM on July 13, 2026, Osebo disclosed while discussing his relationship with the church, catching many listeners off guard with the extent of the responsibility he once carried.
"In 2017, the man gave the church to me for four good years. I was the one running the church from Accra, Takoradi, Italy, the UK, and Germany. If there was any message, I would be the one to go and deliver it," he said.
Osebo's role in Kristo Asafo Mission
Despite the weight of that responsibility, Osebo was careful to draw a distinction between his role and that of a formal church administrator.
He described his function as more ambassadorial in nature, saying he and a colleague from Kumasi served as the church's messengers whenever the founder needed a word delivered across different regions and countries.
"I was like an ambassador, so if there was any message, one guy from Kumasi and I were the ones who delivered it. He took the Ashanti Region, and I took Greater Accra," he explained.
He also pushed back on any suggestion that he has ever sought an official title within the church, stating plainly:
"No, I don't want any position in the church."
His involvement, he insisted, has always been rooted in genuine devotion rather than ambition.
Beyond the Kristo Asafo story, Osebo shared details about his broader faith journey that added further context to his deep ties with the church.
He shared that he began preaching at just 11 years old and has remained a Kristo Asafo Mission member since joining in 1986, never having worshipped elsewhere.
He made clear he has no intention of leaving, saying his loyalty to the mission is permanent.
The interview has attracted considerable attention on social media, with many Ghanaians expressing genuine surprise at the prominent behind-the-scenes role the celebrity stylist says he occupied in the church for several years.
The conversation comes at a time of heightened public interest in the Kristo Asafo Mission following developments around its leadership since Apostle Kwadwo Safo's passing.
