The answer Florence Obinim gave on whether she will ever attend Obinim’s funeral

Florence Obinim, wife of the Founder and Leader of the International God's Way Church, Bishop Daniel Obinim, has reacted to her husband's shocking declaration that she should not be involved in his funeral arrangements when he dies.

According to the gospel musician, she was not surprised by the statement and is grateful that her husband openly expressed his feelings.

Speaking in a radio interview, excerpts of which have been shared on social media, Florence stated, "What I will tell him is, may God bless him for saying what he feels. It would have been painful for him to keep it to himself but for him to say it publicly, I will say God bless him."

When asked whether she would attend his funeral if he died before her, she responded, "For that, let us put it on hold."

Her comments come after Bishop Obinim, in an emphatic address to his church congregation, insisted that only his biological children and church members should handle his funeral rites.

According to a video shared by @askghmedia on X and sighted by GhanaWeb on June 5, 2026, the controversial preacher explicitly excluded his wife, Florence Obinim and members of his extended family from taking charge of his funeral arrangements.

"Let this June 4, 2026, video be on record. When I die, only my biological children and the Abroso Family (my church congregants) should bury me. I have excluded my family, including my wife, Florence Obinim. Do you know how marriage is? Never place your expectations on marriage," he said.

He further directed his family not to take over his funeral arrangements.

Although he encouraged them to attend the funeral, he stressed that he did not want any family member to assume control of the proceedings.

"I am telling you today that the day I die, no member of the Obinim family should come close to my funeral. Don't come and fight over dates. You may attend, but don't come and do what you like.

"The only people who can fix my funeral dates and make arrangements are my biological children and the Abroso Family. If I die before my wife, she should not be part of the funeral arrangements," he stressed.
