Nigerian life coach and social media influencer Solomon Buchi has called on Pastor Chris Okafor to step down from ministry following recent allegations surrounding the clergyman and his controversial wedding in December 2025.

In a video posted on his Instagram page on December 28, 2025, Buchi criticised the pastor for continuing to preach despite serious allegations made by Nollywood actress Doris Ogala.

According to him, the pastor’s apology came only because his secrets were about to be exposed. He said the situation would “get dirty and even dirtier,” adding that a man cannot win a battle against a woman he has wronged.

"He's only sorry because his secrets are about to be spilled publicly. He's only sorry because he knows that it's going to get dirty and even dirtier."

Buchi questioned why the pastor proceeded with a wedding despite unresolved issues. He stated that, as a minister of the gospel, controversy around one’s ministry, wedding, and personal life should be addressed before taking such steps.

"With all due respect, I don't know who joined him. As a minister of the gospel, you cannot have such controversy around you, around your ministry, around your wedding and still go ahead to get married."

He emphasised that pastors do not thrive in controversy and must deal with allegations promptly, especially when they affect the integrity of God they claim to serve.

The social commentator noted that when Doris Ogala first spoke out, many dismissed her as unstable, despite the seriousness of her claims.

He said the allegations went beyond sleeping around, mentioning claims of allegiance with fraudsters and describing them as dark and damaging. He added that the manner in which the issues were handled made the claims seem credible.

Buchi said that simply apologising was not enough, and insisted that Pastor Okafor should not be preaching.

He criticised Pentecostal churches for operating as one-man structures without boards of elders to discipline leaders.

He said pastors must step down when allegations surface, adding that testimony from the pastor’s own family, including his daughters speaking to VeryDarkMan (VDM), made him unworthy to lead God’s people.

"If your own children, if your own family can testify against you, you are not worthy to lead God's people. It's as simple as that."

He concluded by calling for the pastor's resignation.

"Honestly, this guy should step down."
