Few moments in the sacred journey of Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) Nigeria and Overseas demand as much courage and clarity as this hour. The legacy of Pastor E. H. L. Olusheye—once a central figure in the 1990 schism, later a repentant elder—stands as a mirror to our collective conscience.

His public apology and the press release “Time for Truth and Unity” (2014), published in The Nation newspaper, were not merely a gesture of remorse—they were a prophetic call to return to the foundational truth of our incorporation and spiritual mandate.

🕊️ The Historical Wound and the Path to Healing

The division, which erupted in 1990 under Pastor Olusheye’s leadership, fractured the unity of CAC, birthing the General Executive Council (GEC) faction. While many viewed this as rebellion, history has revealed a more complex narrative culminating in Pastor Olusheye’s repentance and public acknowledgement of the need to return to the original leadership structure enshrined in the 1985 Certificate of Incorporation.

This certificate, issued by the Corporate Affairs Commission, remains the only legally and spiritually recognised document affirming the leadership authority of CAC Nigeria and Overseas. It is not merely a bureaucratic relic—it is the covenantal anchor of our ecclesiastical identity.

📜 The GEC’s Silence: A Betrayal of Legacy

Despite Pastor Olusheye’s repentance and call for unity, the GEC has failed to honour his final wishes. By refusing to return to the leadership authority of the 1985 Certificate, they not only perpetuate division but also dishonour the very man whose leadership they once followed.

This silence is not neutrality but a betrayal of legacy, truth, and reconciliation.

🔥 A Prophetic Call to Action

Let it be known: true revival cannot flourish on fractured foundations. The time has come for the GEC to:

• Publicly acknowledge Pastor Olusheye’s repentance and the significance of his 2014 press release.
• Return to the leadership structure affirmed by the 1985 Certificate of Incorporation, restoring legal and spiritual order.
• Celebrate the legacy of Pastor Olusheye not as a rebel, but as a redeemed elder who chose truth over pride.

This is not a call to shame—it is a call to honour. To honour truth. To honour repentance. To honour the prophetic legacy of CAC.

🙌 Conclusion: Let Truth and Unity Prevail

The Christ Apostolic Church was birthed in fire, forged in prayer, and sustained by truth. We must not allow political convenience or institutional pride to eclipse the light of reconciliation. The GEC must now choose: perpetuate division or embrace the path of restoration.

Let us return to the altar of truth, rebuild on the foundation of the 1985 Certificate, and honour Pastor Olusheye’s legacy—not by rewriting history but by fulfilling his final plea for unity.
