Bishop Ufuoma Bernard of the Godist Church has criticized late Prophet Temitope B. Joshua’s wife, Evelyn, over her emergence as leader of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), describing her as “a Jezebel”.
In a Facebook post, Bishop Bernard accused Evelyn of “muscling” her way into SCOAN’s leadership.
He recounted how the fortunes of some big churches dwindled after the wives of the founders took over, following their death.
“Church is not a family business. Evelyn Joshua is a Jezebel,” he said.
He wrote, “When Nkechi Iluputaife took over from the murdered husband, the biggest church in Lagos, Victory Christian Church, at the time collapsed.
“When Margaret Idahosa used wayo to take over Church of God Mission after Benson Idahosa suffered cardiac arrest the church dwindled in profile. Now Evelyn Joshua has muscled her way into the topmost position of Synagogue and certainly Synagogue is going down. Church is not family business.”
SCOAN has been experiencing a leadership crisis following the death of its founder, T.B Joshua. Meanwhile, the church had over the weekend named his wife, Evelyn, as the new leader amid the tussle.
