Two prominent Vice Presidents of Living Faith Church Worldwide, popularly known as Winners Chapel, are preparing to retire. Bishop David Olatunji Abioye and Bishop Thomas Aremu will conclude their service to the church, led by Founder Bishop David Oyedepo, later this month.

Aremu, who oversees the church’s operations in Basorun, Ibadan, will officially step down on October 15, while Abioye, a long-serving member since 1979, will retire on October 18. The farewell service for Aremu is scheduled to be held in Ibadan, and Abioye’s will take place in the Durumi area of Abuja.

Their departures align with updated regulations within the church’s mandate, which is essentially its operational guidelines. The revised mandate stipulates a new retirement age of 58, down from the previous age of 60. In this framework, only Bishop Oyedepo will have the opportunity for a lifetime of service, while all future leaders will be limited to a maximum of two terms, each lasting seven years, pending Board of Trustees approval.
