 Ogunfeyimi said his  father was endowed with divine gift like Moses Orimolade the founder of  Cherubim and Seraphim Church and Apostle Ayo Babalola founder of Christ Apostolic Church (CAC).

  He said  God gave his father so much power that many people were  coming  from both  far and near to the area to see him on  issues  that needed divine attention, and whatever he told them come to pass, because he heard from God  directly.

He prophesied long time ago that Igbokoda would  become the headquarters of Ilaje Local Government Area of Ondo State, contrary to the popular wish of   educated and the influential people of Ilaje land “.

 Ogunfeyimi said his father’s  prophecy generated controversies as he was  shouted down, because majority of the people at the meeting supported Atijere. “But today, Igbokoda is the headquarters of Ilaje Local Government Area “.

   Testifying to the power of God in his  father’s life,  the monarch said, “my father healed  so many people and even raised the dead”.
