BREAKING: Suspended RCCG Pastor Idowu Opens A Brand New Church

 



Pastor Idowu Iluyomade, the suspended senior pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) City of David Parish, has established a new ministry in Lagos called The Family Fellowship.

A video that surfaced on Monday showed Iluyomade leading the inaugural service on Sunday at the Civic Centre in Victoria Island, Lagos. The service was marked by energetic worship, with congregants dancing and celebrating.

Iluyomade took to Instagram to announce the launch, inviting the public to join. “The Family Fellowship invites you specially. Join us tomorrow at the Civic Centre for a special time in the Lord’s presence. Promises to be a great experience,” he wrote.

Iluyomade’s suspension from RCCG in 2024 followed a controversy involving his wife, Pastor Siju. She hosted a lavish 60th birthday party shortly after the tragic helicopter crash that claimed the lives of Herbert Wigwe, former Access Bank CEO and a key church supporter, along with his wife and son. The timing of the celebration, just weeks after the tragedy, drew widespread criticism.

In response to the backlash, the RCCG Governing Council set up a panel to address the issue. By June 2024, Iluyomade and his wife were suspended for three months and reassigned to worship at the church’s headquarters in Ebute Metta. Their absence at the Wigwe family’s funeral further fueled public scrutiny.

The World Bank has raised serious concerns about wasteful spending by the Nigerian government under President Bola Tinubu, describing it as a key contributor to the country's economic woes. In its latest Nigeria Development Update, the global financial institution expressed deep dissatisfaction with the government's financial management, urging greater transparency and accountability. A key area of concern is the administration’s extravagant spending on non-essential items, even as Nigeria grapples with widespread economic challenges. The report highlighted the allocation of billions to luxury purchases, including a staggering N9.2 billion spent on State House vehicles within three months. Another N250 million was reportedly spent on event decorations for the First Lady in just five days, while additional billions went towards renovations, honorariums, and forex acquisitions.
