Obey, who flew in from Abuja last Sunday morning, where he graced a fund raising programme of the Anglican Communion, Ilesa Diocese, informed that following the false alarm raised on his health by the Yoruba magazine and jingles of same on radio, he had been inundated by various telephone calls from well meaning Nigerians and the general public, as series of interpretation were given to the false information in both the magazine report and the radio advert.

While thanking his numerous fans and admirers who had shown concern and love over the false publication, Evangelist Obey assured that he is in very good health as it is only a healthy man that could move from Lagos to Akure and Abuja between Thursday and Saturday and be back in church on Sunday as he did few days ago.
