Pastor Bayo Adeyokunnu Tipped As Successor To Late Oba Aromolaran By RCCG Leader

Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has suggested that his brother-in-law, Pastor Bayo Adeyokunnu, may succeed the late Oba Adekunle Aromolaran as the next Owa of Obokun of Ijeshaland, Osun State...READ MORE…

Adeyokunnu, currently a Deputy Continental Overseer of RCCG in the United States, is reportedly being considered for the royal position following the passing of Oba Aromolaran on September 12, 2024.

Adeboye made this remark during Adeyokunnu’s 70th birthday celebration at RCCG Victory Temple in Bowie, Maryland, on October 16, 2024. A video of the event was reviewed by our correspondent on Tuesday.

Speaking during the ceremony, Adeboye humorously yet pointedly remarked, “Like you’ve been told, he is a prince. You might think we’re joking, but God might take your joke seriously, and your pastor may end up becoming the next king.”

He added, “I am also from Ijeshaland, and in our tradition, we don’t speak English before the royal highness, so I will not pray for him in English.”

The RCCG leader reminisced on his 60-year friendship with Adeyokunnu, describing him as a prayer warrior and a deeply committed Christian.

“I’ve known him even before marrying his sister, about 60 years ago. He was the first friend I had in the Adeyokunnu family, apart from my wife. Back then, he was just little Bayo, but we bonded quickly. He got born again under my ministry. I remember the sermon I preached that day, titled ‘Come and Drink.’ He’s been drinking ever since—always eager for more. He’s a warrior who can pray anything out of you,” Adeboye shared fondly.

Should Adeyokunnu ascend the throne, he would become the second RCCG pastor in the United States to take up a traditional royal title, following Ọba Ghandi Ọláoyè, who became the Soun of Ogbomoso in Oyo State last year.
