The concerned Laity, Clergy, and faithful members of the Akure Diocese of the Anglican Communion in Ondo State, has dismissed the alleged financial allegations against the Archbishop of Ondo/Ekiti Anglican Diocese, Rt. Revd. Simeon Borokinni.
The group described the allegations as a deliberate move to tarnish the image of the revered man of God, who has played significant roles in moving the diocese and the church of God forward.
In a statement, the Concerned Members of the Akure Diocese Anglican Communion said they had “to respond to the malicious and coordinated attack currently being waged against our Archbishop and Lord Bishop, the Most Revd. Simeon Oluwole Borokini, and his wife, Princess Christianah Adetumbi Borokini.
“It has come to our attention that a group of individuals has come together with a singular, premeditated agenda: to tarnish the image of the bishop and the diocese, with reckless disregard for the implications of their actions on the good name of the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion.
“We hereby state without equivocation that this is not a spontaneous outcry but a calculated and coordinated attack orchestrated by a small but vocal faction whose sole purpose is to destabilize the Church, assassinate the character of a man of God, and divert attention from their own misdeeds.
“A critical examination of the petition reveals a glaring pattern that confirms this agenda.
”This is not a diocesan-wide agitation rather the handiwork of some individuals with a history of rebellion and resistance to accountability.
“We ask the Primate and the wider Church to disregard these petitioners who have consistently resisted oversight while funds for the renovation and construction of the cathedral passed through their hands.
“Now that the Lord Bishop is rightly demanding accountability as he wraps up his tenure, they have resorted to this desperate, coordinated attack.
“Their goal is to blackmail, intimidate, and tarnish the image of the bishop to evade the scrutiny they so richly deserve.
“This gang-up must end now. We cannot and will not continue to watch a handful of individuals dent the image of the Church and the Body of Christ for their selfish, parochial interests.
“Their actions are a direct assault not only on the bishop but on the entire Diocese of Akure and the good name of the Church of Nigeria.
*We call on the Primate, the relevant ecclesiastical authorities, and all well-meaning members of the Church to disregard this petition as the product of a coordinated vendetta.
“The Church’s sanctity must be preserved at all cost and we call of the purveyors of these negativity to desist from such.
“Those who have shown themselves to be agents of division, rebellion, and financial impropriety have no place in the body of Christ
“We stand resolutely with our Archbishop, The Most Rev. Simeon Oluwole Borokini, and his wife, Princess Christianah Adetumbi Borokini.
“We affirm their leadership, their transparency, and their unwavering commitment to the Church of Nigeria.
“No amount of coordinated blackmail will succeed against a man called by God”, the statement added.

What do you expect from modern day Christianity?. The Primate and all those concerned MUST institute an independent Inquiry into this heinous “allegation “. IT MUST NOT BE SWEPT UNDER THE ALREADY POLLUTED CARPET. The relevant security agencies such as EFCC and DSS should swing into ACTION. #The judgement of God will surely start in His household on earth. There must be no cover up of this case. Remember the so called satan was an angel. ENOUGH of this ostensible religious bigotry. Shalom Aleichem blessed faithfuls.
