Please, share this story:
The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has denied suspending its senior pastor, Idowu Iluyomade of City of David Parish, Region 20.
In a surprising turn of events, the RCCG has said Iluyomade was only transferred to another parish, Throne of Grace, Ebute Metta, Lagos, which serves as headquarters of the mission.
Recall that earlier reports had stated that Pastor Iluyomade was suspended for three months.
According to Vanguard, the source within the church said Iluyomade’s transfer was officially announced and confirmed on 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 transferred. RCCG pastors can even be 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.
