Addressing the congregation, Okpaise, said the late Taiwo Odukoya confided in the board of trustees (BoT) members about the succession plan before his demise. Okpaise said the BoT unanimously elected Jimmy as the senior pastor and chairperson of the board.
“The board has chosen Saturday, September 30, 2023, as the date of Jimmy’s installation,” he said.
He died less than two years after losing his wife, Nomthi, a South African, on November 9, 2021, following a two-year battle with cancer. Odukoya’s marriage to Nomthi lasted 11 years and produced two boys.
Before Nomthi, Odukoya was married to Bimbo, who died in the 2005 Sosoliso plane crash in Port Harcourt, the Rivers capital, for 21 years.
