Rather than offering congratulations, Ovie zeroed in on the couple's accessories.
"A Pastor with an earring getting married to a woman with a nose ring is disappointing, and I am disappointed. I just watched the videos and photos of Jimmy Odukoya officially introducing his wife to the church today," Ovie wrote.
He continued: "I noticed the wife has a nose ring while he himself has an earring. As a Christian, this does not go down well with me. I also feel God is not pleased either. What message are they sending to the Christian community? I am disappointed."
Jimmy Odukoya introduces Pastor Mo Jasmine
The drama followed Jimmy Odukoya's surprise announcement during Sunday service, where he introduced Pastor Mo Jasmine as his wife to the congregation.
The moment marked the first time he had publicly acknowledged the new relationship.
In his address to church members, Jimmy disclosed that his previous marriage had ended before he assumed leadership of the Fountain of Life Church in 2023, a role he inherited following the death of his father, Pastor Taiwo Odukoya.
"So, you know ever since I became your pastor, I was doing this work of life alone. And you know that the Bible says it is not good. It said I will find somebody suitable. Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce to you for the first time Pastor Mrs Odukoya," he told the congregation.
The church also celebrated the news on Instagram, sharing images and videos of the couple alongside the caption: "Congratulations to our senior pastor and First Lady Pastor Mo."

Jimmy's first marriage and public reaction
Before the announcement, many followers had been unaware that Jimmy's first marriage had collapsed.
He and his ex-wife, Kemi Odukoya, wed in 2013 and share two children. The reasons behind their separation have not been made public.
The revelation came as a shock to many who assumed the former marriage was still intact, with the introduction of Mo Jasmine catching both church members and the wider public off guard.
