The Lead Pastor at the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Jesus House DC, Washington, USA, Pastor Ghandi Olaoye, has resigned from his position in a bid to become the traditional ruler of Ogbomoso (Soun of Ogbomosho), Oyo State.

Having widely practised as a Christian leader for over three decades, Mr Olaoye’s potential kingship will tilt his religious practices towards traditional practices required of the occupant of the first-class royal stool.

As the Soun of Ogbomoso, Mr Olaoye will be expected to observe traditional rites of ascension to the throne of Ogbomoso and will also learn to adapt to traditional festivals of the Ifa oracle, Ogun and Egungun, practices that are against his professed Christian faith.
