Okotie dropped the hint Wednesday during the evening service at his Oregun, Lagos-based Household of God Church, southwest Nigeria.
According to a statement from the church,
Okotie decided to lay to rest speculations about his desire to get married in
future.
This has been the subject of media
controversy since his separation from his former wife, Stephanie Henshaw last
year.
“Taking cognisance of the wide media
interest that this issue is likely to generate, we decided to make this
statement to pre-empt mischief makers from distorting the facts.
“His decision not to remarry is final and
irrevocable, having already settled the matter with the Lord Jesus Christ.”
The pastor assured
his well wishers, friends and numerous supporters around the world that he is
completely at peace with himself and his God in arriving at the historic
decision.
Okotie got married to Stephanie, who is
also a member of his church, in 2008 after he had separated from his first
wife, Tina, due to unresolved issues that were not disclosed.
Tina is now living in the United States of
America. But controversy had trailed his marriage to Stephanie, a widow and
mother of three.
The marriage between them started during a
thanksgiving service held in his church on 10 August, 2008.
Ever since he dissolved his second
marriage to Stephanie mid-last year, there have been different stories swirling
around him. And one of such,was that the serial presidential contender would be
getting married for the third time last December.
But the latest message has negated such
speculation.
