Modele Fatoyinbo, wife of the embattled Senior Pastor of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA), has said his husband remains the pastor of the church, adding that no one can replace him.
She said this on Monday after Fatoyinbo stepped down from the leadership of the church following the rape allegation by Busola, wife of Timi Dakolo, Nigerian singer, against him.
“Pastor doesn’t want me to talk. It’s fine. I just want to say ‘we love you’. You are our pastor; nobody can take your place,” she said.

“We have strangers in this house — strange sons and daughters. But God will close the heavens over them in the name of Jesus.
“It’s always good to assure people that you love them, not only when you feel that everything is fine with them, even much more when you feel that they are not. You know your friends when you are in trouble. So, we don’t want you to doubt in your heart. As for Modele, until I see Jesus, my surname cannot change. So, you better calm down.
“We love you and you have always taught us well. You have always stood on that stage to teach us that even though anybody might be coming from anywhere, God loves them and accepts them. You have never preached condemnation; you have never preached that we cannot change or make it.
“Nobody on earth can take your place in our lives.”
