Pastor Jimmy Odukoya has responded to the wave of criticism surrounding his second marriage with a pointed and cryptic message on Instagram.

The introduction stirred significant conversation online, with many Nigerians weighing in on the pastor's personal life.
On Monday, 2 November 2026, Odukoya took to Instagram to share lyrics from the song 'Don't Pressure Me' by King Boizzy, writing:
"If you cannot die for me, don't pressure me... And if you did not die for me, you cannot condemn me."

The choice of words appeared deliberate. By invoking the language of sacrifice and judgement, the pastor seemed to be directing his message at those who have questioned his decision to remarry.
His first marriage had previously ended, and the public introduction of a new spouse naturally reignited discussions about his personal life and pastoral standing.
Rather than issue a formal statement, Pastor Odukoya let the lyrics do the talking, a move that has since drawn both applause and pushback from his followers.
