The holy spirit descended on him one Night in 1986. Many prophets from within and from without foretold that the Most Rt. Rev. Ikuomola was going to found a church. He never took it seriously until when 2000 God revealed God’s Apprasial church to him. Thus the church came into existence on February 13, 2000. The word Zion was a later addition to the name of the church.

PILGRIMAGE:-

He went on a holy pilgrimage to Israel in 2001 hence the addition of “JP” to his name; otherwise he hated to be called “JP” when he had not been to Israel or to as a doctor when he has not obtained a doctorate degree.

Chief Eddy Eniola Olafeso began his earthly sojourn 54 years ago. He came as a bundle of blessing to the family of chief and Mrs. Marian Olafeso. Born of an aristocratic background, his father Chief Olafeso was the late Olorogun of Idepe Okitipupa. The mother hailed from Osooro also in Okitipupa Local Government Area.

 The story of his birth heralded into the family of the Olafesos a promising boy who was later going to be a pride of the Ikale people and the entire Ondo State.

 Young Eddy started his primary education at Methodist Primary School, Idepe-Okitipupa in the early sixties. Building on a brilliant performance, he got admission to the prestigious Methodist High School, Okitipupa for his post primary education. He later obtained his TC II 1974 at DTTC, Ode-Aye, in his untiring pursuit for academic excellence, he had a brief stinctg the then Ondo State College of Education, Ikere.

Like every promising young man, Chief Olafeso felt the urge to proceed and he proceeded to the famous and ever prestigious University of Ife now Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) where he bagged a single honours in English in 1983. Prior to this time, he had contributed to the education growth of this state by offering to teach, though briefly with his TC II and GCE O/level certificate at Jowiri Grammar School Ajagba in Irele Local Government between 1975 and 1976. These were the formative years of the leadership trait which he has become known for in recent time and like a gold fish that has no hiding place, Eddy’s leadership tendencies and his ability even as young man to lead progressive union activism came to the fore at University of Ife when the opportunity presented itself, he became the President of the University of Ife Students’ Union, thus making his Ikale folks proud in far away Ile-Ife, a university campus of several thousands of students.

 Chief Olafeso is an asset to his community. He has a political structure that makes him relevant at all times in politics, he has contributed at different forum to the development of Ondo State. Way back in 2006, his eloquence was tapped by the then PDP Government of Ondo State and he became the scribe of the party at the state level. Once again, in this exalted position as the party secretary, he did not disappoint.

Qualitative service delivery came beckoning on him once again in 2007. The immediate past Governor of Ondo State, Dr. Olusegun Agagu asked him, to man the Information and Orientation Ministry.

Right from the point of swearing-in as the Commissioner for Information to his last day in office, he was all through at his best.

A sound mind that he is, he handled the information portfolio with fitness. Finetuned medium of information dissemination became the hallmark of his ministry. It is on machinery of the state. Press corps enjoyed in-service training, regular seminars and pro-active measures to encourage information officers under him.

 Chief Olafeso possesses the modernist portrait of a social reformer. He affects in his speeches and analyses the language of a down-to-earth politician who plays the game by the rules. In 2003, he made a shot at the House of Representative Abuja, but his party and superior counsel made him step down for the incumbent Dr. Olu Olakunde. He stepped down in good fate, in obedience and loyalty to his party. Eddy as he is popularly called by family members and friends is an erudite scholar, a philanthropist, an eloquent speaker and active sociable gentlemen. In February of this year, he added another feather to his cap when he bagged a doctorate degree from University of Hawaii, USA.

 Chief Eddy Olafeso is happily married with children.
