As Nigerians continue to reel in shock over the revelation by Busola Dakolo that the founder of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly, COZA, Biodun Fatoyinbo raped her when she was 16, Twitter users are calling on the pastor to step down.
Let the hashtag #PastorStepDown ring to the four corners of the church. Let us shake this one like there is no tomorrow.
I beckon on every good man and every woman. Every twitter warrior and every Instagram influencer. Every celebrity and every pastor to not rest on this one.

Till this issue is handled, till the law takes it's full course….there should be no sermon on that pulpit from him. No one is pointing fingers but what is right is right. #PastorStepDown

By this time tomorrow #PastorStepDown would have been replaced by #BBNaija2019
A fickle generation will always chase internet publicity wherever it leads, even if it's away from common sense!

Waking up this morning to DMs from past members/workers of COZA narrating their ordeals. They don’t know each other, 2 of them are strangers to me. Their stories are similar, some were lucky to get away some weren’t. Some were threatened by the church #PastorStepDown

After carefully examining the use of words by the accused Pastor, I can affirmatively confirm that his writing skill is poor & he's obviously lieing. How dare you address yourself as singular and plural at the same time? And or why drag your members to your case??#PastorStepDown pic.twitter.com/gqJ4eQ0uTU

All of you saying we should apply this same intensity towards govt/failing politicians;
What you don't realize is; we as a people haven't learnt how to demand accountability from political leaders because we don't demand accountability from spiritual leaders!#PastorStepDown

Growing up,I remember in Mount Zion movies, when a Pastor is accused of a misconduct whether he pleads guilty or not , he is suspended pending the time when investigation will be carried out by the church council. #COZABREED Tell your pastor to step down! #PastorStepDown

Why would you want a pastor to step down when you’re not the one that put him there in the first place? The church won’t agree with this #PastorStepDown
