“However, we must know that no retiree in this commission can hold any official portfolio because of the demand of duty in this commission.
“Therefore, the core tax of any retiree pastor under the elongated service scheme is the oversight function under the mission inspectorate service platform which we call the MIS. In addition, there are a number of our retirees who have been connected and have stayed connected to this commission as active members of the church where they live. Those of them who are also in pursuit of the ministry they have received from the Lord have been very much connected to this commission as was observed during the 70th birthday of our Father in the lord, Bishop David Oyedepo which held recently.
“By the policy of this commission, only the founder has a lifetime tenure except where he decides to step down”
