How RCCG replaced Iluyomade
Fox Nigeria reported that Iluyomade was replaced at the City of David parish following public criticisms of his wife, Siju’s extravagant 60th birthday party.
The party came a few days after the tragic death of Access Bank CEO Herbert Wigwe, a prominent member of the church.
Following the criticism, in June 2024, the RCCG Governing Council of the church suspended Iluyomade for three months and replaced him with Pastor Charles Kpandei of RCCG Resurrection Parish.
RCCG then appointed a new pastor, Kayode Pitan, to replace Iluyomade at the City of David Parish in Lagos, marking the end of the latter’s tenure.
