Collins noted that the 'voluntary decision" of Bishop Abioye and Aremu to retire made him respect them more.

The full text of Collins' Facebook post read:

"**Bishop Abioye's Retirement**
"For me, the news was a bit worrying, but I don't jump to conclusions.
"When I watched the retirement service yesterday, it dawned on me that Bishop Aremu and Bishop Abioye might have volunteered to retire in order to ensure the mandate preserves the system they all helped put in place.
"I didn't even know there were pastors who retired in 2020 at 60 and have been given extensions to continue pastoring.
"While I was watching yesterday, a question popped into my mind: Would it be fair to retire some pastors while allowing others to continue past the retirement age?
"Given the value and trust Bishop Oyedepo has for Bishop Abioye and Bishop Aremu, he would never have let them retire unless they insisted it was the right thing to do.
