The General Overseer, Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye has reacted to news that he met with the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2023 presidential elections.
There had been reports that Adeboye met with Tinubu at the Redemption Camp on Sunday over his presidential ambition and sought his support.
The RCCG, in a statement on behalf of Adeboye on Tuesday denied that such a meeting ever happened.
According to the church, in the statement on its Twitter handle, “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 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.”
The statement said Adeboye is under the authority of God, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), and that as such would 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.
“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.” the statement warned.
