Redeemed Church Disowns APC VP, Prof Osinbajo. by Ejimike: 8:16pm On Dec 18, 2014 |
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has denied that the church endorsed the aspiration of one of its pastors, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, as the vice presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC. Osinbajo, who pastors the Olive branch of the RCCG on Banana Island, Lagos, on Wednesday emerged the running mate of General Muhammadu Buhari. Adeboye, while reacting to the subtle endorsement of Osinbajo by a Twitter handle: @rccgworldwide, presumed to be the official Twitter handle of the RCCG, denounced the page. He said in a Tweet credited to him on @rccghq: “RCCG is not affiliated nor represented by @ rccgworldwide. “The church’s official twitter page is @rccghq.” In no fewer than four other tweets, the church equally faulted the endorsement of Osinbajo by the creators of @rccgworldwide. One of the tweets by the Pastors Seed reads: “RCCG has not celebrated anybody for any position in the forthcoming elections! The #OfficialRCCG handle is @ rccghq. Do not be misled.” Another reads: “We are a mission and we do not meddle into politics #RCCG #OfficialRCCG @ RCCGworldwide is wrong.” Another said: “#OfficialRCCG – @rccghq We do not denounce neither do we endorse candidacies for elections. We are not a political party.” Similarly, on his Facebook page – PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE – the revered cleric posted the following statement. “On behalf of The Governing Council of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, we would like to inform the public that RCCG is not affiliated nor represented by @rccgworldwide. “The church’s official twitter page is @rccghq. The church cherishes the right of all citizens to participate in the democratic process to vote.” http://dailypost.ng/2014/12/18/pastor-adeboye-rccg-says-tweet-endorsing-Osinbajo-apc-vp-candidate-fake/ In aRelated development Redeemed Church Disowns APC VP, Prof Osinbajo. The General Overseer, Pastor E A Adeboye, through the Governing Council of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has disassociated the church with one of its Pastors, Prof Osinbanjo, selected to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to be Pa Muhammadu Buhari's running mate. Prof Osinbano and his aides have been sending out bogus congratulatory and support messages to the APC new VP candidate, claiming that the messages came from the RCCG Headquarters. The Governing Council of the Redeemed Christian Church of God declared that they are not part of the political aspiration of Prof Osinbajo and never sent any message of congratulation to him or his party. The Church added that democratic and political party association is a personal issue to members of their church and they group sending those messages have nothing to do with their church. It is shame, that Pastor Prof Osinbajo in less than 24 hours of his selection as APC VP candidate, has joined the dubious propaganda and lie peddling of his new political association. This confirms a Kanuri proverb that said that, "when a Goat that do not eat yam starts following the goats that eats yam, it will start eating yam". An RCCG Senior Pastor who pleaded anonymity said that it is impossible for their Church to support a candidate (Pa Muhammadu Buhari) that openly canvassed and have been working for the spread of Sharia to all corners of Nigeria. God Help Nigeria.!!! - Hope For Nigeria.

Hmmmn see people trying to save their head ooo. Cowards in religious clothing. I have lost hope in Our so called men of God and prophets. In the bible U see Elijah and other prophets cautioning the corrupt kings. But the ones we have only know how to amass wealth and call the corrupt leaders for SPECIAL PRAYERS. |

It is only ethical for church leaders not to openly support any party/candidate being that they sure will have members with different political affiliation. But one thing is sure Pastor Osinbajo will not commence his journey into politics without the consent of his spiritual father(i.e pst Adeboye) and Boss 2 Likes |

Let's learn to get things right. They did not disown him but denied the source of the tweet. |
