The Senior Pastor of Fountain of Life Church, Lagos, Pastor Jimmy Odukoya, has introduced his new wife, Pastor Mo Odukoya, to his congregation.
Odukoya made the announcement during Sunday service on November 1, 2026, at the church headquarters in Ilupeju, Lagos State.
The unveiling came a day after he sparked speculation on social media when he posted a photo of two hands with wedding rings on his Instagram page on Saturday, with the simple caption: “To New Beginnings.”

The post drew a flurry of reactions from followers, with many speculating about an engagement and sending congratulatory messages.
All doubts were cleared on Sunday when the cleric mounted the pulpit with his new partner.
“Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce to you for the first time, Pastor Mrs Odukoya,” he declared, as the duo walked to the stage amid loud cheers and applause from the congregation.
Explaining his decision, Odukoya said he had walked alone for a while since assuming leadership of the church before finding a suitable partner, drawing reference from the Holy Bible.
In a short video clip shared via the church’s Facebook page, he said: “So, you know, ever since I became your pastor, I was doing this walk of life alone.”
“You know, the Bible said it is not good; it said I will find somebody suitable. When Adam saw it, he said, ‘This is the flesh of my flesh, the bone of my bone, my left and right rib.'”
The couple later knelt before Pastor Tunde Bakare, General Overseer of The Citadel Global Community Church, who prayed for and blessed the union.
Pastor Jimmy Odukoya was previously married to Oluwakemi Banjoko in 2013 in London. The marriage produced two children before their separation.
