The Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA) has sparked criticism on social media after sharing a video online showcasing Matthew Ashimolowo‘s lavish arrival at its summit in Abuja.
COZA recently hosted Ashimolowo as the guest minister of its
2024 leadership summit.
The church also documented the senior pastor of Kingsway
International Christian Centre’s journey from Lagos to Abuja.
The now-viral video showed Ashimolowo being escorted to a
blue and ash-colored Rolls-Royce, which transported him to Murtala Muhammed
International Airport, where he boarded a private jet.
Upon arrival in Abuja, Ashimolowo was warmly received by
Biodun Fatoyinbo, COZA’s lead pastor, and his wife. He was then transported to
his suite at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in a white Rolls-Royce.
“Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo’s INSANE VIP Arrival in 3
Rolls-Royces & a Private Jet!” the church wrote on X.
“The COZA Global Leadership Summit is getting deeper and
wider. Don’t miss tonight’s session. We are live!!!”

The tweet has attracted a chorus of condemnation against
COZA on social media. Some users condemned the display of wealth, arguing it
contradicts Jesus’ teachings of humility and patience while others criticised
the post’s caption, labeling it “clickbait”.

This show of shame should stop at some point. Get tired of it and become serious.
The only thing you guys glorify is money. Jesus has no idea what's going on here. https://t.co/SrVlD3BnA5
Jesus Christ entered Jerusalem on a donkey. Donkey symbolises humility, patience and hard-work. But today, we are on Rolls-Royce, Private jet and Presidential suites - which symbolises power, wealth and affluence. #COZA

That thing that COZA posted should be condemned with the strongest words possible.

There's no justification at all for that display.
It goes against the very fabric of the gospel.
It's embarrassing to watch and nauseating to see.
Nobody whose primary interest is the gospel…
To be honest, I'm more worried that Pastor Mathew allowed such a thing go public (maybe he wasn't aware sha) because I no really think say COZA care like that. It was such a sad watch! https://t.co/TR4fJtbfD7

God bless you for this, Pastor Rasine.

It didn't start today and in fact, if the COZA admin didn't post that caption, many still wouldn't have an issue with the ostentatious display.
Make everybody dey disguise🫵🏿 https://t.co/pa0LAvIxcg
Anytime COZA trends, it's always for something not edifying.

I hope they will teach members how to get money to live above T-Pain's impôsed hârdshîp. pic.twitter.com/kbR2tje2kK
The silliness in the name of honouring men and tapping grace as they call it in COZA. What do you need three Rolls Royces for? And what's the idea behind flying private and putting it online? This is not abundance, it's avarice and it's demonic. https://t.co/TlzZ6Nf2lY
