Pastor Idowu Olusola Iluyomade, former senior pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Region 20, City of David and Head of the Apapa Family, has resigned from the church.
The flamboyant pastor was recently removed from headship of the high flying COD following his indiscretion along with his wife, Siju, in hosting a birthday bash seven days after their major financier, Herbert Wigwe, died in a helicopter crash in the US.
It would be recalled that they danced and made merry while the bodies Herbert (then Chief of Access Bank) and that of his wife, son, and others were in the mortuary.
The Church’s council removed Pastor Iluyomade and replaced him with Pastor Charles Kpandei who assumed duties last Sunday.
In my piece on the party, I called on the church to “redeem itself by sanctioning pastor Iluyomade and his partying wife and distance itself from their reckless and insensitive behaviour.”
Redeem has done just that and redeemed itself and won back the trust of those who truly believe it is the Redeemed Christian Church of God.
It has also opened the books of the COD to KPMG for auditing.
Meanwhile, the disgraced pastor’s next moved remains a matter of conjecture.
