Pastor Jimmy Odukoya reveals how ex-wife Kemi behaves when angry amid controversy over new wife

An old video of Pastor Jimmy Odukoya speaking about his former wife, Oluwakemi Sade Odukoya, has resurfaced online following his recent introduction of his new wife, Mo Odukoya, to his church congregation.

Jimmy, who leads the Fountain of Life Church in Ilupeju, Lagos, introduced Mo to members of the congregation during a church service on Sunday, November 1, 2026.

In the resurfaced video, Sade asked the pastor to describe how she behaves whenever she is angry.

Responding to the question, Jimmy explained that she would often insist that nothing was wrong whenever he tried to find out what was bothering her.

According to him, she would repeatedly tell him that she was fine, despite his attempts to understand the situation. He added that she would eventually tell him that he was no longer her friend.

The old clip has attracted renewed attention following Jimmy’s introduction of his new wife, Mo, during Sunday’s service.

While addressing the congregation, the pastor explained that he had remained single after taking over the leadership of the church but eventually felt that it was time for him to remarry.

He also referenced the biblical principle that it was not good for a man to be alone while speaking about his decision to get married again.

Meanwhile, Pastor Tunde Bakare, who blessed the union, disclosed that the wedding took place in the United States. He also revealed that Mo is the daughter of Reverend Theophilus and Bolaji Daniel.

Pastor Jimmy Odukoya and his former wife, Oluwakemi Sade Banjoko, popularly known as Kemi Odukoya, got married on March 9, 2013, and their union produced two children.

The couple tied the knot at St. Mary’s Church in Saffron Walden, England. They welcomed their first child, a daughter named Ariella Abimbola Odukoya, in May 2016, while their second child, a son, was born in 2019.

However, after several years of marriage, the couple reportedly separated privately.
