A petition object to the fact that Okpalaeke was not of the area's Mbaise origin was previously sent to Pope Benedict XVI after the former Pope appointed Okpalaeke Bishop On 9 June 2019, Pope Francis gave clergy in the Diocese 30 days to either write a letter promising obedience and accepting Okpalaeke as the Bishop of the Diocese or be suspended.
On 8 July 2019, it was reported that while the letter apologizing was sent, the appointment of Bishop Okpalaeke was still rejected by the local priests who insisted that the Vatican was enforcing racial discrimination in the country by appointing outsider priests as Bishops.
