A disclaimer has been issued by The Redeemed Christian Church of God over allegations that the General Overseer of the Church, Pastor Enoch Adeboye met with the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu.
According to some reports on social media, Tinubu had met with Daddy G.O, as the cleric is fondly called, at the headquarters of the church in Ogun State. However, in a statement issued on Tuesday, the church refuted the claim.
The statement read, “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 church added that it will not speak on behalf of Christians on issues regarding policies. More so, Adeboye will not endorse any candidate in the 2023 general elections.
It continued, “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.”
The church also said that media outlets should refrain from spreading false information to their readers.
The statement added, “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.”
