Brother Paul left Ghana to attend the funeral of Brother Josiah Soyinka, the then Africa Overseer, as homage to a deserving leader. He came to Lagos, expecting to go back to Ghana after a few days but little did he know that he would be the one chosen by God to succeed Brother Soyinka. In absolute trust, he surrendered to the will of the Lord, and on October 3, 1999, Brother Paul Ogechukwu Akazue was appointed and ordained the third Africa Overseer of The Apostolic Faith Mission.
