Aside from his pastoral responsibilities, Jimmy Odukoya is also loving husband and devoted father. He got married to a beautiful woman whose name js Kemi Odukoya, and together, they are raising their precious daughter.
In 2018, Kemi Odukoya expressed her admiration and gratitude for her husband’s part in the parenting process of their child. She shared a heartwarming moment when Jimmy took on daddy duties, carrying their daughter on his back while she enjoyed a girls’ trip with a friend.
Kemi’s words had not only celebrated him as a doting father and loving husband but also all fathers who understand the profound importance of active parenting.
