Re: Past Leaders of Christ Apostolic Church (1943 till date)
In the list circulating on social media under the above caption, it is essential to note that all the purported leaders of the General Executive Council (GEC) were appointed under a Certificate of Incorporation that was fraudulently obtained in 1991, which has since been cancelled by the Corporate Affairs Commission. Additionally, all the purported leaders of the Supreme Council, following the demise of Pastor G.O. Lagunju, were appointed without any certificate whatsoever.
The following are the leaders of Christ Apostolic Church, Nigeria and Overseas, both past and present. This list is published for the sake of preserving the authentic and sacred history of our Church and for the sake of posterity.
