“Drawing from their counsel and that of the leadership of COZA and owing to my love for Lord’s work and the sacred honor of my calling I have decided to take a leave of absence from the pulpit of the church.”
This came on the heels of protests asking the cleric to step down over the allegations levelled by Timi Dakolo’s wife, Busola.
The celebrity photographer had alleged that the COZA founder forcefully raped her when she was young.
But reacting, Ezekwesili, in a tweet on Monday, said that the pastor’s decision to step down as Senior Pastor of COZA was a “good first step”.
The former minister wrote: “This is a good first step. A process that helps fully resolve the saga would be the best Next Step”.
