Anambra: Anglican priest resigns, begins support for polygamy

An Anglican priest of the Nnewi Diocese in Anambra State, Rev. Ogbuchukwu Lotanna, has resigned his position as a priest of the church.

 

Lotanna, also a lawyer, from Mbanagu Otolo Nnewi, in the resignation, stated that he received a divine mandate to float a movement in support of polygamy.

 

He claimed that the divine mandate he received to float a movement was aimed at encouraging polygamy, with a vision to reducing the rate of sexual sins in society.

 

He pointed out that polygamy is not a sin, contrary to what is generally being preached.

 

According to him, what God hates is divorce of any type, and sleeping with another man’s wife.

 

He insisted that God desired men to even marry more than one wife, instead of going for someone’s wife or ladies they were not married to.

He said the church had hidden this information from members 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”.

 

He said, “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.”
