Olabanjo, who founded Image of God Evangelical and Prophetic Ministries, made the announcement in a video shared online, where he introduced himself by his new spiritual identity, Ifawamiri Aworan Olodumare, Babalawo of Ifá.
The former pastor explained that his personal spiritual journey led him away from Christianity and into Ifá practice.
He expressed appreciation to the traditional spiritual elders who, according to him, guided and supported him throughout his transition.
Olabanjo specifically acknowledged his Oluwo, Baba Aifuwapẹ, Oluṣẹgun Latunji, whom he identified as the Araba of Isararemọ.
He also thanked others who played roles in his spiritual journey while stressing the importance of mentorship and guidance from elders within the indigenous spiritual tradition.
In declaring his new religious position, Olabanjo rejected Christianity and other foreign religions, describing them as false and affirming his commitment to Ìṣẹ̀ṣe.
His announcement has generated mixed reactions online, largely due to his previous identity as a Christian pastor and founder of an evangelical ministry.
