. To be formally installed Dec 19
Spiritual Head of the Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church Worldwide (Ayo Ni O), His Eminence, Pastor (Dr) Gabriel Olayinka Kassim, has been appointed the new Supreme Head (Olori) of the Cherubim and Seraphim Unification Church of Nigeria.
By this appointment, His Eminence Kassim has succeeded Baba Aladura Abiodun Alogbo, who passed away after spending just nine months as the Supreme Head of the C&S Unification Church Nigeria.
The Ecclesiastical Council, which is the decision making body of the Cherubim and Seraphim Unification Church Nigeria, took this decision on Tuesday.
Secretary General of the Church, Snr.Apostle Michael Tayo Ajose, said the decision was taken at the meeting of the Ecclesiastical Council held at the International Secretariat of the Church at Seraphim Land, Maba, Ogun State.
According to him the appointment was made in order for the new supreme head to complete the tenureship of C&S Movement Church, which was formerly occupied by the late Supreme Head, His Most Eminence, Prophet Emmanuel Abiodun Adewale Alogbo.
Baba Aladura Kassim’s installation and ordination is scheduled for Saturday, December 19, 2026 at Seraphim Land.
His appointment ended months of speculations and agitations over who will succeed late Baba Alogbo, the head of the C & S Movement Church, who could not complete the first term of the church as the Supreme Head of the Unification.
Although, the decision of the Ecclesiastical Council was unprecedented in the history of the church, it secured the popular support of most members of the Unification.
Sources disclosed that it was The Eternal Sacred Order of the Cherubim and Seraphim, which many thought should produce the next Supreme Head, that first championed the support for the C & S Movement Church to complete its tenure.
This position was also said to have been backed by Reverend Mother Abimbola Esther Ajayi.
“With The Eternal championing this cause of unity and fairness to the C & S Movement Church, we all know that the transition will be smooth and rancour-free,” the source said.
The source further noted that “when we saw the Head of The Eternal, His Eminence M. I . O. Ebahor-Erebi at Orile Igbon last week ordaining and anointing Elder Kassim as the Spiritual Head of C & S Movement Church, it was very clear to us that Baba Kassim will emerge as the Supreme Head of the Unification.”
