Concluding his statement, Apostle Chibuzor stated that he has forgiven Happie Boys and will restore their scholarship in any university in Nigeria or Benin Republic. He disclosed that necessary arrangements are being made for the lads to return to Nigeria.
In his words: “I am Apostle Chibuzor Gift Chinyere, General Overseer of Omega Power Ministries (OPM).
“I feel humbled by the level of appreciation I received from well meaning Nigerians on my good works in improving the lives of less privileged in Nigeria.
“We all know the story of happy boys and how I intervened by sending them to Cyprus for studies. I felt at their age what they need is education not to work as security.
“Because of the Dollar rate, which became a heavy financial burden on me in paying school fees for over 4,000 persons on my scholarship programme, I stopped funding to Wait and see if the dollar will come down. I also communicated to every parents and gave them options either to return to Nigeria and continue their studies or Benin Republic.
“Now Because of God and as a father I have decided to forgive happy boys on whatever thing they Posted against me and the church. On this note I have decided to restore their scholarship to continue in any university in Nigeria or University in Benin Republic.
