WHY PASTOR ADEBOYE SHOULD RE-THINK THE SACK OF PASTOR ITUAH IGHODALO FOR MARRYING IBIDUN

--------------------------------------

I do not belong to the Redeemed Christian Church of God, but I have the obligation of adding opinion in any happenchance that draws either opprobium or commendation in the public arena.

Pastor Ituah got married to Lucy Ann Summer in 1995 in UK under the English law. The marriage produced no child. When Ituah decided to relocate to Nigeria his wife Lucy refused following him even after persuasions. Eventually, he came back alone. Within this time, Lucy Ann got married to another man in the UK with whom she has a child now.

Back to Nigeria, Ituah met Ibidun his second wife after 10 years of having being divorced and then wedded her on 26th February, 2007, the marriage was blessed with 2 adopted children. Complaints started coming from members and Pastors of RCCG who felt that leaving him as a leader and pastor in the church would encourage other Pastors to follow his footstep. This led the General Overseer, Pastor Adeboye concurring to his dismissal since remarriage of a spouse when the other is still alive is against the constitution of the church.

On Sunday June 14, 2020, Pastor Ituah's wife Ibidun, an ex-beauty queen and event planner extraordinaire died in Port Harcourt, Rivers state where she had gone to erect some COVID-19 Isolation centers. Her funeral has been slated for Saturday, 20th June 2020 in Lagos. Pundits are of the opinion that this is a time for Pastor Adeboye and RCCG to reconsider the sack of Pastor Ituah Ighodalo and reinstate him as a senior pastor he was. This will be a way of giving a human face to the divine work.
