KICC Breaks Silence On Pastor Ashimolwo’s Retirement

Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC) has debunked news of Pastor Mattew Ashimolowo’s reported retirement which went viral hours ago.

Some news platforms (not ENigeria Newspaper) published a report suggesting that Pastor Ashimolowo retired from the pulpit to his multi-billion flourishing real estate business.

The report which has now gone viral has been debunked by the church in a statement credited to Pastor Femi Faseru, National Superintendent and Resident Pastor of KICC on Tuesday afternoon stating that the 71-year-old Ashimolowo still preaches between three and four times every week all over the world.

Consequently, he added that the man of God ministers daily on ‘Morning Glow’ to people in over 50 countries.

Fasheru also noted that Ashimolowo is taking on fresh challenges and has only just established another independent ministry. He said the pastor does nine services weekly, including Sunday services.

“Ashimolowo’s telecast, Winning Ways, can be viewed all over Africa and Europe. His wife, Yemisi, and one of his sons, Pastor Tobi, are also working as ministers in the KICC.

“There is no iota of truth in the insinuation that Ashimolowo may have quit preaching the gospel to concentrate on real estate business,” the statement reads in part.

Fasheru added that Pastor Ashimolowo recently held a groundbreaking ceremony for a 33-hectare estate in the Ibeju Lekki area of Lagos, which may have prompted some reporters to spread the narrative.

“This project may be what mischief makers have taken out of context without cross-checking available information. This type of journalism skirts the border of decency and injures the reputation of the victim while courting libel for the publisher. To be sure, Ashimolowo remains a proud soldier of Christ, preaching His gospel with renewed enthusiasm as he has done for close to 50 years,” he concluded.

Meanwhile in an earlier post, ENigeria Newspaper unveiled Pastor Ashimolowo’s multi-billion naira real estate empire comprising of choice landed properties and estates in privileged neighbourhoods in Lagos Nigeria. READ IT HERE
