Everyone desires PEACE. The Church itself was founded upon the timeless pillars of love, unity, respect, and peace values that must never be compromised. Yet, over the past six years, a prolonged internal dispute has significantly impacted the growth and spiritual stability of the fold. What began as differences in opinion gradually escalated into a crisis that weakened trust in leadership and slowed the Church’s progress.
At the heart of this narrative stands Most Senior Evangelist Solomon Oshoffa, a key figure who witnessed remarkable growth within the Church between 2015 and 2020, but also played a role during the turbulent period that followed. Amid the divisions and misunderstandings, he has taken notable steps toward reconciliation demonstrating humility, courage, and a renewed commitment to unity.
ON THE 3RD JANUARY 2025
In a deeply symbolic act of repentance and reconciliation, Solomon Oshoffa paid a personal visit to the residence of Baba S.O. Banjo. In that private meeting, he openly admitted his mistakes and sought forgiveness. The emotional exchange that followed reflected both correction and compassion. Baba Banjo, recalling past bonds and the legacy of unity within the Church, spoke candidly. His eventual words of forgiveness marked a powerful turning point an indication that healing, though difficult, was possible.
The journey of reconciliation did not stop there.
ON THE 13TH FEBRUARY 2025
During the one-year remembrance of the late Emmanuel Adebayo, Solomon Oshoffa publicly extended apologies to respected leaders including Baba Nunayon, Baba Ogunremi, and Elder Pius Olarewaju. In a heartfelt gesture, he acknowledged them as fathers, seeking to erase any lingering resentment and rebuild broken trust.
ON THE 19TH & 20TH JULY 2025
Again, in July 2025 at the Adult Harvest Thanksgiving Service of CCC Wonderland Model Parish, Osogbo, another significant moment unfolded. Solomon Oshoffa humbly approached Baba Nunayon, prostrating and reflecting on their shared history and the guidance he once received. With the involvement of respected figures like VSE & MC Ogunremi, meaningful dialogue took place, paving the way for deeper understanding and reconciliation.
ON THE 7TH NOVEMBER 2025
Further demonstrating sincerity, on November 7th, 2025, he engaged warmly with the late Elder Pius Olarewaju at a social event in Lagos. Their interaction marked by laughter, conversation, and mutual respect symbolized the gradual restoration of relationships once strained.
Following the passing of Elder Pius Ige Olarewaju in February 2026, Solomon Oshoffa’s presence at the Artists Night, Night of Tribute, and Wake Keep Service reflected honor, respect, and a continued commitment to unity even in moments of grief.
ON THE 26TH MARCH 2026
Most recently, on March 26th, 2026, during a closed-door meeting in Imeko, he reiterated a crucial truth: lasting peace can only come when individuals acknowledge their shortcomings and embrace collective responsibility. His patience and dedication during the following 72 hours culminated in a notable development, as Baba Nunayon attended the Washing of Feet Service at Km 53, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway an act symbolizing humility and spiritual cleansing.
These steps, though gradual, represent meaningful progress. Reconciliation is not achieved in a day; it is a process that requires humility, forgiveness, and consistency. The actions taken by Solomon Oshoffa and the responses from respected elders signal a hopeful path forward. However, true and lasting peace will require continued effort from all stakeholders, including revered leaders such as Baba Banjo and Baba Akinterinwa.
The Church must rise above personal interests and return to its foundation Christ-centered love, unity of purpose, and spiritual integrity. Only then can it regain its strength, restore members’ confidence, and continue its divine mandate. Peace is not just desired it must be pursued, protected, and sustained.
