Rev. Oshoffa stated the need to build the CCC worldwide as started by his father Samuel B.J. Oshoffa - which was what led to his emergence as the “unification leader” of the church.
The church leader who spoke in Lagos on Monday, said his emergence was ordained by God, as it had been foretold.
Punch reports that his nomination was sequel to the vacation of the seat by court judgement against his elder brother, Emmanuel Oshoffa.

Olatoso said, “Now, it is time to unite the Celestial Church family and together build the church and Nigeria. The past struggles in the church were the handiwork of Satan.
“During one of my journeys to France, my father appeared to me and told me to lead the church. I have met many spiritual leaders in the church, telling them the revelation I received.
“A lot of them prayed about it and confirmed that the revelation was truly from God. Hence, my acceptance of the leadership nomination to unite our church, ensure stability and peace in the Celestial Church of Christ worldwide and contribute to the development of the country.”
The 45-year-old new leader of the church noted that his appointment and declaration as the unification leader of CCC was done in Imeko, Ogun State on June 10, 2015, after series of consultations.
He said the development showed that everybody was united and ready for the daunting task ahead.

He added that the age-long crisis in the CCC, since the founder died in 1985, was “a trying time for the CCC”.
“We will restore the lost glory of the white-garment church. My priority will include the unity, welfare of members and workers and completion of the Imeko cathedral and other infrastructure,” Olatoso said.
