Pastor Kayode Pitan has been appointed as the new pastor of RCCG City of David in Lagos, replacing Pastor Idowu Iluyomade. Pitan's appointment follows Iluyomade’s suspension over unspecified allegations. Pastor Charles Kpandei has been serving as the interim pastor since June.
The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) made the official announcement during its recent convention, confirming Pitan’s new role. Before this, Pitan was Pastor in Charge at the Tabernacle of David in Region 51 and has held regional leadership positions within the church.
Pitan, known for his extensive corporate background, including his tenure as Managing Director of the Bank of Industry (BoI), is expected to bring a wealth of experience to his new role. His background in finance and management is anticipated to be beneficial for overseeing the Trinity Tower project and leading the City of David parish.
As Pitan steps into his new position, Pastor Ben Akabueze will assist him as the new Assistant Pastor in Charge of Region 20. Kpandei will return to his previous role as Pastor in Charge of Region 11 in Lekki.
Pitan, who has a history of significant achievements and setbacks in his business career, including a major financial loss in the 1990s, has deepened his Christian faith over the years. His leadership is expected to mark a new chapter for RCCG City of David.
