In a moment that blends faith, leadership, and destiny, Right Honourable Superior Evangelist Folajimi Oyekunle, a proud son of Celestial Church of Christ has officially secured the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) ticket to represent Ibadan North Federal Constituency in the forthcoming bye-election scheduled for 16th August 2025.
This is not just another political headline. It is a testimony of grace, obedience to purpose, and the continued relevance of the Church in nation-building.
Celestial Church of Christ has never shied away from encouraging its members to engage in civic duties and leadership. In line with the Church’s long-standing principle of supporting participation in governance, as long as it aligns with the laws of the land and God’s wil, Superior Evangelist Folajimi Oyekunle’s emergence represents yet another milestone in the Church’s democratic contributions.
From governors to senators, CCC has historically raised men and women of faith into the corridors of power. This moment is another opportunity to shine that celestial light on the Green Chamber of Nigeria’s National Assembly.
Born into the fold at CCC Yemetu Western Parish, Ibadan and currently a founding member of CCC Salvation Parish, Ibadan, Hon. Oyekunle carries a strong spiritual heritage alongside a credible political resume. His recent role as Deputy Chief of Staff to the Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde, speaks volumes of his administrative capability, people-driven mindset, and loyalty to service.
Hon. Oyekunle has never hidden his identity as both a politician and an evangelist. Quoting from Proverbs 29:2, he once said: “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.”
His conviction is clear: Nigeria needs more righteous men in power—those who fear God, serve with humility, and stand by the truth.
As 16th August 2025 approaches, this isn’t just a political journey—it’s a spiritual assignment. Let every Celestial, every Ibadan indigene, and every Nigerian who desires a nation led by integrity, vision, and God-fearing leaders, rise in prayer and support.
This is our time to send another flame of Celestial light into the nation’s capital.
The Green Chamber awaits.
