Its explosion follows a viral e-copy of a Deeper Life church program that had no church members as special guests, an act Akande believed was generally not the case in the past, but which is becoming a norm nowadays.

He told Kumuyi to rest if he was tired of leading the church

The media evangelist, while frowning at the development, advised Kumuyi to go home and rest instead of destroying what he had built over the years.

In his words:

“Sir, Pastor Kumuyi, if you are tired, go home and rest but do not ruin what you have been building for years because I am afraid.

“This is how the old RCCG built by Reverend Akindayomi collapsed and a new model of RCCG emerged. It started gradually by inviting strangers who come with strange spirits.

He hit Kumuyi for trying to mold the church in a way that appeals to young people today.

“It looks like Baba is ready to pamper and please young people with everything now, even if that will include inviting ‘Christian’ comedians to youth programs?”

“Does Baba want to finish the youth before he finishes his race?
