CITIZENS COMPASS— The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has said that the church was not affiliated with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Adeboye was speaking on Friday night, during the May monthly Holy Ghost Service tagged “Excellent Counsel”.
The programme took place at the Redemption Camp, along the Ogun State axis of Lagos/Ibadan Expressway.
“Some people are saying RCCG is an APC church. I just smile. In RCCG, you will find a governor from the Peoples Democratic Party sitting down with a governor from the Labour Party, APC, and APGA. By the special help of God, we are representative of the whole nation, and that is what we will continue to be.
“If you saw one governor among us today dancing and you were expecting he would be called forward to say something, we don’t do that. But if you come to worship with us, you are welcome. Our duty is to pray for everybody.
“The one that will rule has been decided by God before we were born. He knows the end from the beginning.” He said.
On why he participated in a protest during the regime of former President, Goodluck Jonathan, he said that his actions were in obedience to directives from the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).
“That was because the then chairman of CAN asked all Christians to go out for a peaceful protest. If he talks tomorrow and asks me to march, I will,” he said.
“I don’t want to be the father of all Christians in Nigeria. I am certified as being the father of RCCG, and that is enough assignment for me,” he said.
“I will not allow any outsider to dictate to me how to deal with my own children. Even if you make a mistake, I will not allow an outsider to tell me what to do with my own children. I will defend you against anybody, any blogger or whatever who may say anything against you.
“If anybody is criticising any of us, don’t join them. Don’t allow them to use you for politics.”
