It has been confirmed that the Pastor of the Celestial Church, along with a few selected elders, has travelled to the Benin Republic for the continuation of the dialogue between the Nigeria Diocese and the Benin Republic Diocese. The meeting, reportedly facilitated by President Patrice Talon, is said to be a critical step in strengthening the relationship between both regions.
However, the move has not gone unnoticed—or unquestioned. Among the congregation, there’s growing concern about the secrecy surrounding the trip. Many members have expressed frustration over the lack of clear communication from church leaders, especially considering the sensitivity of the ongoing unity efforts.
As of today, April 9, 2025, multiple sources confirm that the Pastor is currently in the Benin Republic actively participating in the discussions. Eyewitnesses also reported seeing a group of elders boarding a bus near his residence in Imeko, heading in the same direction, further fueling speculations.
What’s troubling to many faithful is the absence of representatives from the registered Board of Trustees. Since talks began in February 2025, there have been murmurs about the one-sided nature of the delegation. Pastor Adeogun is said to have brought in elders mainly from his faction, leaving out key voices from the Nigerian Diocese. For a church that values structure and spiritual order, this perceived imbalance has sparked serious questions about unity and process.
Church members are asking:
- Why weren’t all factions equally represented?
- Is this truly a peace effort or a factional gathering?
- Why is there no official statement or communique from the church leadership?
The Celestial Church has faced several internal conflicts over leadership and succession in recent years. Many hoped this meeting would mark a turning point—but the lack of transparency threatens to deepen distrust.
For now, members wait. Some hopeful, others skeptical. What happens next could shape the future of the Church’s unity across borders.
