Nollywood actor, Jimmy Odukoya and eldest son of Late Pastor Taiwo Odukoya has been announced the General Overseer at Fountain of Life Church in Ilupeju, Lagos State.
VerseNews reports that Pastor Jimmy officially resumed as the Church’s senior pastor after the announcement was made by Pastor Rotimi Okpaise during Sunday service.
Addressing the congregation, Okpaise, said the late Taiwo Odukoya confided in the board of trustees (BoT) members about the succession plan before his demise.
Okpaise said the BoT unanimously elected Jimmy as the senior pastor and chairperson of the board.
“The board has chosen Saturday, September 30, 2023, as the date of Jimmy’s installation,” he said.
On August 7, VerseNews reported that Odukoya, founder of the church, died in the United States of America aged 67.
He died less than two years after losing his wife, Nomthi, a South African, on November 9, 2021, following a two-year battle with cancer.
Odukoya’s marriage to Nomthi lasted 11 years and produced two boys.
Before Nomthi, Odukoya was married to Bimbo for 21 years.
Bimbo died in the 2005 Sosoliso plane crash in Port Harcourt, the Rivers capital.
