“On the behalf of the Youths of Living Faith Church Worldwide, we say a big welcome to our National Youth Pastor, Pastor Isaac Oyedepo as he takes the Youth Alive Fellowship to the next levels of glory,” YAF posted.

But reacting to the appointment of Oyedepo’s son, a Facebook user, Chike Ogugwu wrote, “It’s his father’s business so,let him manage it well.”

Another user wrote, ”Family business, preparing him to take over. Papa, mama, pikin church, may God help us.”

Paul Waiyo, another social media user, described the appointment as a business decision, he said, “A Strategic Business Decision.Best way to go.”
