Anambra-based Anglican Priest Says He’s Leaving Priesthood To Become Champion Of Polygamy

An Anglican priest of the Nnewi Diocese, Anambra state, Rev. Ogbuchukwu Lotanna, has announced his decision to leave priesthood.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned Lotanna  in  his  resignation letter submitted  that he had  received a divine mandate to become  champion of  a movement that will  support  and promote polygamy.

Lottana, a Barrister-at-law, claimed that the said divine mandate was aimed at encouraging polygamy, with a view to reducing the rate of sexual sins in  the society.

 Polygamy is according to him  not a sin, contrary to what  had been promoted against it.

He noted that what God hates is divorce of any type, and sleeping with another man’s wife. He insisted that God wants men to even marry more than one wife, instead of going after another person’s wife or ladies they were not married to.

Lottana  said the church had hidden this information from  Christians  for a long time and that it was high time people were told the truth. He encouraged men to marry their ‘side chicks’ to escape hell fire, maintaining that the only thing wrong with polygamy was to stay in a church that was against the practice ‘because two cannot work unless they agree’.

 He also disclosed that his new movement would be called ‘Gideonites’  while the place of worship would be called ‘Gideonites’ Temple’.

‘It is obvious that the church, especially the Anglican Church, has been teaching against the concept of polygamy, but the Lord has opened my eyes to the reality that polygamy is not a sin’ he said.

Lotanna was reportedly ordained as an Anglican priest on December 22, 2019, at the Cathedral Church of St. Mary’s Uruagu, Nnewi.

He is said to be married to Chinyere Abigail, who hails from Umuogbu village, Achara , Awka North of Anambra state- Team@orientactualmags.com
