If developments coming out of Life Fountain Church are anything to go by, the church after the demise of its Senior Pastor, Taiwo Odukoya and his burial on Saturday, 9th September, 2023, will have the cleric’s ‘dreadlock wearing’ son, Jimmy Odukoya, take over as Senior Pastor later this month.

Videos from the church service obtained by Oasis Magazine shows Rotimi Okpaise, a pastor, saying that the late Odukoya confided in two of the Board of Trustees’ (BoT) members about his succession plan.

Okpaise said the BoT unanimously elected Jimmy as the Senior Pastor and Chairman of the Board.

According to the said pastor, the spiritual father of the deceased cleric, Bishop Mike Okonkwo, called to find out what the cleric said before his death on who is to succeed him.

Speaking further, he informed him (Bishop Mike) that the pastor before his demise told Pastor Jimmy and two other Board of Trustees’ members that he wants his son to take over from him.

In his words, Jimmy was nominated and elected as Senior Pastor and Chairman of the Board of Trustees’.
