In an exclusive interview on Okay 101.7 FM, the Prophet clarified that the decision to sell the current building is purely a matter of spiritual and administrative direction.

Rumours had been swirling for weeks that the Prophet was "suffering financially" and needed the sale to settle outstanding personal loans. Some critics even alleged that the sale was a desperate attempt to stay afloat after a series of controversial public incidents.

However, Badu Kobi insists that the move was authorised by the church’s Board of Trustees. "I will never use the Lord’s work to pay a debt," he told Nana Romeo.

"With my life, it is not church money that will take care of me. It is just for the relocation to Sakumono Estate. It’s all for God’s work".

The Prophet explained that while he initially considered keeping the old building as a branch, a spiritual "direction" instructed him to move the entire operation.

"I am never leaving the Lord’s work, because I am not done. It’s just obedience to God," he added, firmly debunking claims that he was retiring from the ministry.

Known for his previous displays of wealth, including the gifting of luxury cars to celebrities and church members, the news of the sale had caught many by surprise.
