According to him, “Lighting of Centenary Torch of the Ancient of Days and Divine Anointing of the children of God in Rivers State is in commemoration of the physical manifestation of the Founder and Sustainer of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, Leader Olumba Olumba Obu, about 100 years ago, specifically, since 30th December, 1918.”

“The lighting of the Centenary Torch of the Ancient of Days, a prelude to a year-long centenary celebration is scheduled for the 9th and 10th of June, 2018.

Continuing, Dagogo explains: “whilst the lighting of the Centenary Torch is taking place Nation to Nation and State to State, the Torch of the Centenary will be received in Rivers State at the BCS Cathedral (Hqtrs), 125 Aggrey Road, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.”

Speaking on the purpose of the event, he stressed: “anointing of the children of God to prepare them adequately for the tasks ahead. Whoever witnesses the Light shall never experience darkness. The movement of the Torch sensitizes and mobilizes all children of God to attend the centenary celebration of the Divine Manifestation of Leader Olumba Olumba Obu.”
