Following the uproar on alleged disparaging comment by the founding pastor of COZA, Biodun Fatoyinbo, on the founder of the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola, the Concerned Christian Youth Forum (CCYF) said it was pertinent to address the matter, saying Fatoyinbo was misunderstood.

LEADERSHIP reports that Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo of the Commonwealth Zion Assembly (COZA) was alleged to have made disparaging comments about the highly revered Apostle Ayo Babalola, the first Evangelist of the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC).

The statement was not intended to harm or insult the highly respected Apostle Ayo Babalola or his esteem family in any way.
