“My husband is not dead, I talk to him daily” – Prophet Ireti Ajanaku’s widow speaks

Since popular Lagos Pastor, Ireti Ajanaku, died 3 years ago his pretty wife has been the one running his church and the large empire he left behind. Surprisingly, she has done a good job of running the Church. Since she took over, she has steered the affair of the church along the path of stability, so much of that, many of those who stayed away shortly after Pastor Ajanaku died have since returned.
 In a few days time, she will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of the church and its going to be a week activity. Last week. Monday, this petite lady of style spoke to City People Publisher SEYE KEHINDE and SOLA BAMIDELE about life without her husband and spiritual leader.


How has it been all these years without your husband?
I thank the God of Elijah Ireti Ajanaku, He has been the one behind my strength. He has been the one behind me. If not for Him, I would have been forgotten and everything about my husband, Prophet Elijah Ireti Ajanaku would have been forgotten. But His grace has been keeping me moving; ever since his body slept in the lord I believe he is much alive. I believe his spirit is much alive, but its only his body that slept.  It is God that has been sustaining me. I thank God for his call over his life. If not for the fact that God called him and he is a man of God, I don’t know what would have befall his Ministry, I myself and the children and everybody he left behind. But I thank God that called him. He has been the one sustaining us.

How has the growth of the church been?
We thank God. The church has come out of it strong. Initially, when the whole thing happened, people thought that has the end. I don’t know what people think a man of God is. People believe a man of God is mortal body, main body when some one has to drop anytime, because death is inevitable.
