There is currently a rising rumble within the camp of the Redeem Christian Church of God, RCCG, and if not amicably settled things may tear apart as contained in the book of Chinua Achebe.
From a reliable source, there is a cold war, presently between the led-Pastor and General Overseer of the RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, and the RCCG Pastor in charge of the City of David, Pastor Idowu Iluyomade.
Pastor Adeboye was claimed to have allegedly directed RCCG City of David Pastor Iluyomade to resign his position as the lead pastor of the RCCG church branch. Unexpectedly, Pastor Iluyomade was claimed to have grossly refuted the directive with displeasure.
Aside from being the Pastor of RCCG Region 20, City of David, Pastor Idowu Iluyomade is also the Special Assistant to the RCCG General Overseer, Pastor Adeboye, on Christian Social Responsibility (CSR).
However, the springing difference between Pastor Adeboye and his right-hand man, Pastor Iluyomade, could not be unconnected to the recent events that surrounded the death of the Group Chief Executive Officer (Group CEO) of Access Holdings Plc, Herbert Wigwe.
Recall that Herbert Wigwe died recently in America in a helicopter crash alongside his wife, son, and business partner. Wigwe has been a member of the RCCG, worships with the City of David branch, and is a very high financial contributor to the church.
Following the death of Wigwe, his family had shockingly directed RCCG to never attempt to come near his burial service even though Wigwe had contributed billions of naira to the developments of the church.
The decision of the family could have been influenced by a lavish birthday ceremony organized by Pastor Iluyomade for his wife, even a few days after Wigwe’s death.
Pastor Adeboye’s alleged directive requesting Pastor Iluyomade’s resignation as RCCG City of David Pastor is to calm the atmosphere and appease the family of Wigwe who had been infuriated by Pastor Siju Iluyomade’s flamboyant birthday party, a few days after the biggest benefactor of the church, Wigwe, died.

God have mercy upon your church
The demise of Herbert Wigwe was so shocking that members and pastor of COD would have shown some sort of sorrow not celebrating any event at all. There is adage in my place that”a baboon says the death of your neighbour’child should attract sympathy”.I wish the birthday would have been called off or low keyed because of this brother’s death.
True words of wisdom. A family lost 3 members, that’s enough to have called the party off.
A man can never be a benefactor or the biggest benefactor of a church, a house of GOD..Men are channels used by GOD but never the source of the church. this sort of writing is so wrong . Say it was wrong to through such a lavish party. Throwing a party is another, as Christians it didn’t signify a Christian gathering but rather it seemed like a carnival glorifying man.
The real reason why Nigeria is poor is because of people like this. Stop deceiving yourself and open your eyes
werey. Herbert was indeed the biggest benefactor as stated. Keep deceiving youself.
It is very unfortunate. It could be anyone. If Pastor was in the same place with Wigwe, would the woman had still gone ahead with the birthday party?
Access Bank replaced him immediately. You should discuss that. You guys hate the church, period. You desire a non-church world. However, church members should learn to function more as a family than as individuals. If the deceased was really a family member, as the church should be, the carnality party will be postponed.
Wigwe’s death is so saddened and may God comfort the family. But wigwe sins shall follow him, access bank was part of the banks that helped politicians to conduit the stolen money. Access bank can not deny helping festus kenyamo to steal the 700+ local government 3 months ad hoc job. God will pay everyone necessary visit.
On point
You lack wisdom the bank is a business place and church is not.its never about hating the church but the birthday party is unnecessary.
church IS the biggest business in the world!
Good will forgive every one of us, for the type of life we’re living, is not too bad if pastor iluyomade can order the church of God to mourn wigwe wife and son for good 30 days, but sometimes we do forget the main and primary purpose of our calling, once we start to be seen money leaving in a blessful life, that is when some pastors will not behaving normal anymore as if they’ve arrive and to be moving astray
Which one you dey??? They are commenting because they hate the church. Yet, the carnality party should be postponed.
