If there is any member of Christ Apostolic Church, Worldwide who doesn't know the General Superintendent of the mission, Pastor Samuel Olusegun Oladele, that person must be coming from another planet. Pastor Oladele is well known for his teaching prowess and ability dish out the undiluted word of God in a unique way. You can easily identify him whenever he is teaching even if you're not watching him. This is due to his command of English language and "Queen's English."
