That word "even as" tends to make the difference there

To make grammatical sense, it would need to be, "Be ye followers of me, even as I also [am] a follower of Christ.
And of course, the "am" is added by translators so we don't have a direct match. I don't think we know that Paul meant to say "as I follow Christ".
Point is, the bible doesn't say, "Follow me as I follow Christ."

You are right, the Bible doesn't. But that is what Paul said.

Does this fit?
1 Corinthians 4:16 (King James Version)
16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

 Just looking for the verse that says, "Follow me as I follow Christ."
Did you have any luck with finding "God inhabits the praises of His people"? You can be a millionaire today!
