The social media was yesterday awash with reports of the suspension of the Senior Pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, City of David Parish, Region 20, Idowu Iluyomade, but Vanguard gathered that he was only transferred to another parish.

Although the reports had insinuated Pastor Iluyomade was suspended for three months, a source said he was only transferred to another parish, Throne of Grace, Ebute Metta, Lagos, which serves as headquarters of the mission.

The source within the church, said Iluyomade’s transfer was officially announced and confirmed Sunday, June 2, 2024, during the monthly thanksgiving service held across all RCCG parishes.

According to the source, his new role is at the RCCG Region 1, Ebute Metta, where he will serve as the Pastor-in-Charge of elders.

Pastor Iluyomade was said to have expressed dissatisfaction that he had yet to reach the retirement age of 70.

Another source also revealed that the Pastor in-charge of RCCG Resurrection Parish of Region 11, Pastor Charles Kpandei, was asked to replace Iluyomade at the City of David Parish.

The source told Vanguard that the two pastors were due for transfer, after serving for eight years in the two parishes respectively.

He said: “It is normal to have a change in leadership. Most RCCG pastors go on transfer. The church transfers pastors around and both Pastors Iluyomade and Kanpdei were due for transfers.

“Both of them have done more than eight years as regional pastors and were actually transferred. RCCG pastors can even been transferred abroad. It has nothing to do with any event or politics. They were both due for transfers.”

Efforts to reach Iluyomade for comments yesterday proved abortive.

Recall that the City of David Parish had been enmeshed in controversies, following the 60th birthday bash of wife of Pastor Iluyodae, Siju, barely nine days after one of the major financiers of the parish and late chief executive officer of Access Holdings, Herbert Wigwe, died in a helicopter crash, alonside his wife, Doreen, and son Chizzy, in the United States.

The development was said to have drawn the ire of the General Overseer of RCCG, Enoch Adeboye.

Sack or transfer? that one na church business.

It would have mattered a little if he or his SCARY looking wife were part of NLC or the minimum wage committee.

According to the source, his new role is at the RCCG Region 1, Ebute Metta, where he will serve as the Pastor-in-Charge of elders.

Hmmm... This is serious o.

The man grew City Of David to enviable hight after the ing of Pastor Eskom Mfon.

To now transfer him to Ebute Metta HQ is tantamount to rendering him redundant and to say the least useless.

Ebute Metta Head Cutters Quarters does not allow bling bling for Pastor's wife. You have to dress like mommy GO. No hearings. No make up.

As a man you must be able to caution your wife.

"Let your moderation be known all to all men. The Lord is at hand"- Phil4:6

This decision would have been very difficult for daddy GO to reach.

Hope it ends well.

That's it

These scammers are getting bold
They can't hide it any longer

I think my Children will be so lucky
Because I will expose them the secret that religion is scam at a very young age.

Transfer is even more serious than 3 months suspension in my opinion

Noted.

Naa waa ooo

Jezebel of a wife almost destroying his pastoral work. He is long due to be transferred because both husband and wife are already seeing the city of David as their personal property.

Watch. One. Two. Three. The enemies of the church coming in again to spew their hatred. Nothing the church does ever makes sense to them.

They have nothing to do with church, but they always have a hate to spew. Why? They're children of darkness!

Exactly! Many just hate to see you happy and celebrated! Same deceitful souls that shouted to high Heavens that he must be removed never said Flavour, Tony Elumelu, and many others that so heartily danced, dined, wined and Celebrated at the Birthday should be "Cancelled" and rendered useless in their fields.

Adeboye is scheming to send his biological son to that rich and powerful parish. In order to equip him to take over as next G. O. So they had to get rid of the strong pastor ID. Who himself is seen as a worthy contender to THE G.O. throne. But the unfortunate thing is that this Adeboye's secret greed will end up consuming RCCG because he's not the founder of the church and family succession wasn't the example that was set for him. I don't forsee RCCG remaining as one once Adeboye is gone.

Lol. So in essence he was transferred from the crème de la crème to the trenches.

If them like make them expel am

One man down

All hail women

Nice ...

Transferred to the HQ. He really called the bluff of the RCCG authorities. I knew they dare not sack him..

Hmmm

Religion politics is worst than the real political parties politics.....

Amaka is a hookup girl, not a prostitute.

Women always bringing down men. Just look at what the wife's senselessness have caused the man. He is not even going to be the main Pastor in Ebutte Metta but Pastor in Charge of Elders.

Very nice man but his wife is his undoing.

They've collected his pot of soup from him.
