The Soun of Ogbomoso designate Prince Afolabi Olaoye Ghandi has handed over his pastoral role at the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Jesus House Parish, Washington DC.
A thanksgiving and transition service was held in honour of Pastor Ghandi at the parish on Sunday. He had been the pastor of the church since inception.
Joined by his wife, Pastor Omo Ghandi-Olaoye, Ghandi handed over to Pastor Olumide Ogunjuyigbe.
He is now set to return to Nigeria to take on the new traditional role.
Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde recently approved Ghandi’s appointment as the new Soun of Ogbomoso.
The stool of the Soun became vacant after the death of the former monarch in December 2021 at 95 years. The king reigned for 48 years.

In a post on Instagram, the church wrote: “Today, Pastor Ghandi passed on the baton of leadership to Pastor Olumide! Congrats on this new journey Pastor Olumide! We know that eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man what God will do through you! As God was with Pastor Ghandi, so shall He be with you.”
It said in another post, “Thank you so much Pastor G for your excellent leadership over the years! As you transition into this next phase of your illustrious life, we celebrate you, we congratulate you! We pray that your life will go from glory to glory, from strength to strength. We promise to continue in the great legacy you have left behind. Amen.”
