These core standards were unanimously set by the entire community and Apostle Chibuzor Gift Chinyere was chosen as the man who the cap fits.
Even though he was carefully chosen by his people for the stool, Apostle Chinyere rejected to be the king and advised that someone else should be appointed so he can give him his full support. The community followed him patiently while pleading with him to accept to be the king. After many years, Apostle Chibuzor Gift Chinyere saw it as a service to his people and accepted this Clarion call to serve his people as their king.
Suffice to say that other Men of God who are pastors in their various denominations have been crowned kings and resigned their appointments in their various churches as pastors before becoming a king, His Royal Majesty King Apostle Chibuzor Gift Chinyere is the only General Overseer who is serving and also a king and did not resign because he is serving God and humanity faithfully.
