Senior Pastor of The Fountain of Life Church, Jimmy Odukoya, has got social media talking after he shared a loved-up photo that many believe is an engagement announcement.
The pastor and Nollywood actor took to Instagram on Friday, October 30, to post a close-up image of two hands intertwined. In the photo, his hand is placed over a woman’s hand, and both are seen wearing rings. The woman’s hand stood out with long green nails and a large diamond ring on her ring finger.
He kept the caption short and simple, writing only: “TO NEW BEGINNINGS”.
The post immediately triggered a wave of reactions online. While many fans and well-wishers flooded his comment section with congratulatory messages, others were left confused and curious about the identity of the woman in the photo, as the pastor did not tag anyone or reveal a name.
Jimmy Odukoya, who took over as the lead pastor of Fountain of Life Church in Ilupeju, Lagos, following the passing of his father, Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, has always kept his private life relatively low-key.
He got married to his wife, Kemi Banjoko, in March 2013 in London, and their union is blessed with two children. In recent years, there have been speculations about his marital status, though the clergyman has not publicly addressed them.
As of the time of filing this report, Pastor Jimmy has not released any further statement to confirm whether the photo is indeed an official engagement announcement or just a symbolic post about a new phase of life.
One thing is certain, however — the photo has reignited public interest in the love life of the popular preacher.
