By Nimot Sulaimon

Bereaved Nollywood actor Jimmy Odukoya has taken on the role of senior pastor at the Fountain of Life Church, succeeding his late father, Taiwo Odukoya.

Pastor Rotimi Okpaise announced this transition during a church service held on Sunday.

Okpaise revealed that prior to his passing, Taiwo Odukoya had shared his succession plan with the board of trustees (BoT) members.

In light of this, the BoT collectively elected Jimmy to serve as the senior pastor and also appointed him as the chairperson of the board.

Known for his role in the 2022 movie The Woman King, Jimmy is the first child of late pastors Bimbo Odukoya and Taiwo Odukoya.
