The suspended Senior Pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Region 20, City of David, Pastor Idowu Iluyomade has resigned his appointment from the church.
It was confirmed that the cleric who was also head of the Apapa Family of the RCCG turned in his resignation letter on Tuesday, June 4, 2024.

Iluyomade, popularly called Pastor ID, who was asked by the leadership of the church to step down for three months and report to the headquarters of the RCCG in Ebute Meta, Lagos was replaced by Pastor Charles Kpandei of RCCG Resurrection Parish, the Region II Headquarters.


This is pending investigation of various allegations of wrongdoing levelled against him particularly the lavish party organized by his wife and fellow Pastor, Siju to mark her 60th Birthday on February 18.
The merriment was frowned upon by many leaders and members of the church as well as a section of the public as they consider it insensitive to the mourning of a prominent member and major financier of the parish, Mr. Herbert Wigwe, founding Chief Executive Officer of Access Holdings PLC , his wife, Chizoba and their son, Chizi, who died in a helicopter crash on February 9.
