Speaking to the media on the sidelines after the court hearing on July, 6, 2026, Osebo claimed that Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena had initially been removed as the leader of the Kristo Asafo Mission. However, he said the will has finally settled the matter.

"It's true. We have read Papa's will, and what it entails is that Akofena should be the leader. He was initially removed as his successor, but now his will has shown that he should oversee the affairs of the church."

The Ghanaian fashionista stated that although he disagreed with Akofena on certain issues, he would throw his support behind him to ensure that he succeeds in his new role.

Osebo, however, clarified that the turn of events does not mean he will quit Kristo Asafo, adding that he remains an ardent member of the church regardless of what has happened.

"We are going to support him. The fact that we do not agree with him on some issues does not mean we will quit the church or stop supporting him. I am just a church member. Whether I quit the church or not is my decision, but I cannot leave the church. I will continue to be a member of the church and offer him our support so the church can move forward."

Below is the Facebook video of Osebo speaking on the confirmation of Nana Kwadwo Safo Akofena as the Kristo Asafo leader.

Already, Osebo had announced that he would take legal action should the former Kwabenya MP, Adwoa Safo, attempt to become the leader of Kristo Asafo.

He said his stance on the matter was premised on the fact that the church's constitution does not permit a woman to lead the church.

Osebo, however, said claims about Adwoa Safo attempting to assume leadership of Kristo Asafo were part of plans masterminded to tarnish her image.
