The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye has denied meeting with the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, over the Muslim-Muslim ticket.
Earlier, a media report stated that Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his Wife met privately with Adeboye at his private residence in Lagos State, South West Nigeria.
Gatekeepers News reports that RCCG in a statement said Adeboye never met Tinubu or endorsed him for the 2023 presidency.
The statement read in part, “It has come to our notice that some news outlets are reporting that a meeting Between Pastor E.A. Adeboye: The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God Worldwide and the former Governor of Lagos State Mr Bola Ahmed Tinubu was held few days back at the Redmption Camp where our esteemed father in the Lord was said to have supported the preferred candidature of the Party the Former Governor is a member of.
“This is to inform the general public that
1) Pastor E.A. Adeboye is under the authority of God, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), and as such will not speak on behalf of Christians on issues regarding policies.
2) Pastor E.A. Adeboye and the RCCG have not and will not endorse any candidate for the 2023 General elections in Nigeria.
3) The news reported by Daily Post is false.
“Daily Post and other News Outlets should desist from spreading false information about Pastor E.A. Adeboye and the RCCG as it defeats the code and ethics of Journalism and the full weight of the law will be employed if such happens in future.”
