Agu Irukwu Discusses His RCCG Leadership Resignation

Pastor Agu Irukwu, who served as the former Chairman of the Redeemed Christian Church of God's parishes in the United Kingdom, addressed his voluntary resignation from the church's leadership structure in April 2021 at a program hosted by Pastor Poju Oyemade of The Covenant Nation. Irukwu, who also held positions as chairman of the church's Board of Trustees and Executive Council in the UK, and as Deputy Continental Overseer, continued his role as pastor of Jesus House, the parish he founded.

He shared that after stepping down, the church's protocol team was unsure how to address him, to which he responded that they could use any form of address they deemed appropriate. He highlighted that genuine Christian leadership should not be defined by titles but by service and the growth of others.

Irukwu also noted that his schedule became busier post-resignation due to numerous ministry invitations. He urged churches in the UK to focus on the nation's development and carry a burden for the country.
