Muslim-Muslim Ticket: Adeboye Didn’t Meet, Won’t Endorse Tinubu – RCCG

The Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, on Tuesday reacted to the alleged meeting between its General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye and the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.

RCCG said contrary to reports, Pastor Adeboye never met with Tinubu over the Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket. The church authority also said that Adeboye would not take a unilateral decision on policies where it pertains to the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN and the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria. 

The church said that it was as such out of permutation that Adeboye or the RCCG would endorse Tinubu or any other presidential candidate for office.

Recall that it was rumoured that earlier on Tuesday it was reported by a number of news channels (Not GreenWhiteGreen GWG) that Tinubu met with Adeboye over the weekend.

The RCCG statement read thus:

“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, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, was held a few days back at the Redemption 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 Pastor E.A. Adeboye is under the authority of God, the Christian Association of Nigeria, and the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, and as such, will not speak on behalf of Christians on issues regarding policies.”

“Pastor E. A. Adeboye and the RCCG have not and will not endorse any candidate for the 2023 General elections in Nigeria.”

Noting that the news of the meeting was false, the church warned, “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.”
