A pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) based in the United States, Ghandi Olaoye, has resigned his position in a bid to become the traditional ruler of Ogbomoso, Oyo State.
“He confirmed it yesterday, and he has relinquished his position as the lead pastor,” sources close to the clergy confirmed to The Podium.

Having widely practised as a Christian leader for over three decades, Mr Olaoye’s potential kingship will tilt his religious practices towards traditional practices required of the occupant of the royal stool.

As the Soun of Ogbomoso, Mr Olaoye will be expected to observe traditional rites of ascension to the throne of Ogbomoso and will also learn to adapt to traditional festivals of the Ifa oracle, Ogun and Egungun, practices that are against his professed Christian faith.

Mr Olaoye worked as an entrepreneur before becoming a pastor in 1992. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in English Language and Masters in Industrial and Labour relations.

If he succeeds, Mr Olaoye will be following the footpath of another former Redeemed preacher, Kehinde Olugbenle, who resigned from his pastoral duties to become the Only of Ilaro in Ogun State.

Lol....could be God plan for him.

Last last,

Inside of all of our minds, we know that our fore fathers got the concept of the Almighty God right more than the West.


You will know, when you know.

From Jesus to Shongo. He left as zionist branch manager to atheists Area Commander.

These folks are NEVER pastors. They were businessmen who added pastoral duties to their hustle.

When a bigger hustle came forward, they jumped on it. It's that simple

I wish him all the best

Well...

Hope he knows he cannot stop traditional rites that he MUST give his consent and participate in...Openly or in secret..

Ai'fe Omo olomo, lai'se Oro oloro (If you don't marry someone else's daughter, you won't embrace someone else's culture and tradition)
