Crisis hits First African Church as Lay president rejects his suspension

Crisis hits First African Church as Lay president rejects his suspension

A leadership tussle has erupted within the mission following the suspension of the  Lay President of the First African Church Mission (TFACM), Engr. Shola Taylor, by an extraordinary meeting of the General Council held at The Prayer City, Omu, Lagos State.

In a statement issued after the meeting, the Council announced that the decision to suspend Taylor was unanimous and binding. The communiqué further directed all units and organs of the mission to disregard any invitations or announcements for meetings convened at his instance.

The statement added that, pending further notice, the affairs of the National Fellowship Advisory Council/Board of Trustees (NAFAC/BOT) will be overseen by the Deputy Lay President, Elder Innocent Nwachukwu-Asonye.

It stressed that only meetings called by Elder Nwachukwu-Asonye should be considered legitimate.

“The extracts showing the decisions would be circulated in due course,” the Council said, warning members to comply fully with the directive.

However, in a swift reaction, Engr. Taylor dismissed the suspension as null and void. Speaking to The Nation, he insisted that the Board of Trustees had already declared the action “out of order” and reaffirmed his position as the duly recognised Lay President.

“I remain the Lay President of the church,” Taylor stated firmly, setting the stage for what could become a protracted leadership crisis within the mission.
