According to her, if not for the fact that God revealed to her husband that the two were planning an abortion, her family would have been ridiculed if the abortion had gone otherwise.
In a video uploaded on Youtube, Florence Obinim also rubbished suggestions that her husband owed her an apology for reprimanding her in public.
Controversial counsellor, George Lutterodt had suggested that Bishop Obinim needed to apologise to his wife for chastising her in front of the congregation.

According to him, by doing so, Bishop Obinim had disrespected his wife and for that matter had painted her in a bad light.
But Florence Obinim was of the conviction that the only time Bishop Obinim would chastise her in public is when God is at work.
She said in twi, - My husband has never reprimanded me in public. I have known my husband for years and he calls me honey and never by my first name Florence. So if he calls me Florence in public, then it is not him speaking but God at work. If he had reprimanded me by saying “honey” then I would have known that was my husband speaking.

She continued: - At that time, the “Angel” was at work and so it’s not about husband and wife matters else God will disgrace you. So when he rebuked me, I knew it was God speaking. My husband has not wronged me in anyway so if you are asking that my husband apologises to me then it’s as though asking my father Jesus to apologise to me.
On the flogging of the two teenagers, Florence Obinim thanked God for using her husband to expose the two.
Obinim has allowed himself to be used by God. As a mother, I didn’t even know my child was pregnant. If not for Angel Obinim whom God has gifted with visions, this would have been disastrous, she said.
