The General Overseer of the Omega Fire Ministries International, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has made clarifications on his statement that COVID-19 should not end.

The clergyman had made the statement as seen in a viral video, adding that he bought his third private jet during the COVID-19 pandemic.

He said, “In COVID (pandemic) I bought a jet; the third one. I have three. I was praying for COVID-19 not to end because I was resting. While people were complaining, my wife asked, ‘Can life be this sweet?’ Am I talking to somebody here?

The statement attracted criticisms from Nigerians who expressed their displeasure on social media platforms.

Addressing the backlash that trailed the statement, the clergyman, while delivering a sermon to a congregation, said the video was edited by a fellow pastor who posted it against him.

“There’s a video that is trending about me. It was posted by a pastor against me. It was a programme I had in Abuja and I was trying to explain something about COVID-19. When they told me that I prayed for COVID-19 not to end, I said ‘me? I didn’t say that.’

“When they brought the video, I discovered it slipped out of my mouth. There’s no pastor that will pray for Covid not to end. It doesn’t make sense.

“I was talking about what happens around Covid, how families were staying together, how families united, how some people even made money during that process. That was what I was trying to buttress and it slipped out of my mouth. I could not have prayed for Covid not to end, no pastor would do that. But he (the pastor) took that mistake, edited some part and blew it,” he said.

Apostle Johnson Suleman of Omega Fire Ministries has said he once prayed that the COVID-19 pandemic doesn’t come to an end.

The clergyman was captured in a viral clip preaching during one of his Sunday services that surfaced on social media.

The 49-year-old said he bought another Jet to add to his previous two while others were praying for Covid-19 pandemic to end due to the hardship that came with it.

He said; “In COVID, I bought a jet. The third one. I have three. I was praying for COVID not to end because I was resting. While people were complaining, my wife asked, ‘Can life be this sweet?’. Am I talking to somebody here?” he asked.

“No stress. I read on the Internet that there’s a rumour going around that I have a machine that prints money. I like that rumour. They say, ‘he should be investigated. He has a machine that prints money.’

“Somebody asked if it’s true and I said it is true. They said, ‘It’s risky o’. I said I didn’t know it’s risky because I already bought the machine. When you speak in tongues, you’re printing money.”

Suleman has been enmeshed in an adultery scandal in recent times with one of his former pastors, Mike Davids, accusing him of sleeping with his wife, an allegation which Suleman has denied.

Davids also wrote a petition to the Corporate Affairs Commission to investigate and suspend Suleman for his stupendous wealth.

A video has surfaced online where Apostle Johnson Suleman, the General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministry (OFM), boasted about purchasing his third private jet during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak.

On Wednesday, the short engaging video of the pastor preaching during one of his Sunday services surfaced on social media.

In the video clip, Suleman could be heard saying that he already had two jets but purchased a third one while people were busy “complaining” about the pandemic.

Suleman also added that he was praying the pandemic doesn’t come to an end because he was “resting”.

“In COVID, I bought a jet. The third one. I have three. I was praying for COVID not to end because I was resting. While people were complaining, my wife asked, ‘Can life be this sweet?’. Am I talking to somebody here?” he asked.

“No stress. I read on the net that there’s a rumour going around that I have a machine that prints money. I like that rumour. They say, ‘He should be investigated. He has a machine that prints money.

“Somebody asked if it’s true and I said it is true. They said, ‘It’s risky o’. I said I didn’t know it’s risky because I already bought the machine. When you speak in tongues, you’re printing money.”

In recent weeks, Suleman has also been in the news after Mike Davids, a former cleric at his church, alleged that he slept with Faith Edeko, his wife.
