The interview has triggered a backlash from a social media commentator, Ugo Boss, who argued that such "clarifications" should have been a prerequisite for the marriage, not an afterthought.

The critic questioned why the church and the Apostle did not conduct thorough background checks on the woman's health, mental stability, and family history before allowing the union with his son, who is known to be on the autism spectrum.

Ugo Boss said in a Facebook video:

"What was supposed to be done before the wedding is being done after the wedding. Why was the haste? The woman's origin, status, and family were not clarified before this arranged marriage took place."

The marriage has been a major talking point across Nigeria, as many believe it was an "arranged" union facilitated by the Apostle to ensure his son has a life partner and caregiver. While many OPM members have congratulated the family, calling it an act of grace, others on the X and Facebook are questioning the transparency of the process.

"This seems absurd, why after the marriage."

"Apostle don turn creator for this app."
