There has been controversial news in some quarters that a Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Afolabi Olaoye, was selected by the Ifa oracle as the new Soun of Ogbomosoland in Oyo State.
As an ordained pastor of RCCG, based in the United States, Olaoye resigned his position to become the traditional ruler of Ogbomosoland.
Having widely practiced as a Christian leader for over three decades, many people questioned if he would tilt towards the traditional practices required of the occupant of the royal stool.
Without much ado, Olaoyo resigned from his pastoral duties and ascended the traditional throne of the new Soun of Ogbomoso
The traditional rites were duly carried out last Friday and he ascended the throne of Ogbomoso. Following his Ascension to the throne of Ogbomoso, he also learnt to adapt his faith to the long-established practices associated with his kingdom.
