OPM Founder Gifts House, Car to Widow in Rivers

Blessing Ibunge in Port Harcourt

It was a huge celebration for Mrs Patricia Iyere, a widow and her family yesterday in Port Harcourt in Rivers, as the General Overseer of Omega Power Ministries (OPM), Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere, gifted her a bungalow.

The philanthropist had earlier given Iyere a car for a taxi-hailing business that would generate income for her. The elderly widow who always cleans the altar at the church headquarters in Aluu attracted sympathy and gifts for her commitment to service to the work of God.

Special Assistant to Apostle Chinyere on Special Duties, Kenneth Nwachi, who spoke on the development yesterday, said Iyere was first gifted a car, after which she came back to the Chinyere to complain about her inability to pay the rent for her apartment.

Nwachi said, “Apostle Chinyere quickly intervened and called those in charge of OPM free estates to enable him to move Mrs Iyere to one of the flats in OPM 18 free estates but was told that the estates are fully occupied.”

He added, “He thought of giving her money to renew the rent but changed his mind, called his agent and directed him to look for a mini estate so he could buy for the widow. After all the search, the agent could not find any mini estate for the Apostle to buy for Mrs Patricia Iyere.

“The agent finally found a bungalow where Apostle Chinyere paid in full in the name of Mrs Patricia Iyere, the widow and handed the documents to her which made her the owner of the house today (Monday).”

Nwachi also revealed that the OPM founder had built over 50 houses for poor widows in different parts of the country. He said all the gifts were funded from tithes and offerings of the church.

“Besides buying 14 flat mini estates, which he gave to the late Deborah Samuel’s family, he has also bought mini estates for his resident pastor, personal assistant, head of technical in OPM and his cook, including the late Chima wife of the popular Ikoku 4 in Port Harcourt,” the church leader’s special aide explained.

Nwachi also mentioned that the “man of God also gave landed properties to his more than 43 domestic staff, who are all landlords and landlady in Port Harcourt. Currently, some mini estates are still under construction and will be handed over as gifts to deserving” church members.
