PROFESSOR of Journalism and Emerging Media at Kennesaw State University Farooq Kperogi has again come under fire for claiming that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo uses his Office to facilitate job appointments for members of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) where he is a pastor.

Kperogi wrote on Monday that the Veepee sees his position in government as “an opportunity to promote the supremacy of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG)” which he has characterized as Osinbajo’s RCCGification project.

The article titled “Two Major Lies in Osinbajo’s Declaration Speech” has been the latest sensation on social media.

At the last count, over 5,000 followers have liked it on Facebook and 1,400 of them have shared it.

On Twitter, Kperogi’s followers have locked horns, defending or criticising the 760-word article.

But is his claim about Osinbajo facilitating the appointment of RCCG members in the Buhari government true or false?

Relying on public records, The ICIR profiles some of the government appointees whose recruitment Osinbajo allegedly facilitated.

The first on the list was the Minister of Industry, Trade & Investment between 2015 and 2019, Dr. Okechukwu Enelamah.

Dr. Enelamah indeed was the pastor of RCCG Olive Tree parish at Banana Island Ikoyi Lagos.

He was commissioned in May 2015, a few months before he was announced as minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He succeeded Pastor Osinbajo who then was transferred from RCCG Jesus Centre parish to Olive Tree in October 2009.

But at the time of his appointment, he was also the head of African Capital Alliance (ACA), Nigeria’s biggest private equity firm. The company raised over $750 million in managed funds since its inception in 1997.

A graduate of Harvard Business school, Dr. Enelemah was Investment Partner at Zephyr Management, a global investment manager headquartered in New York, after a stint at Goldman Sachs.

Another prominent hire allegedly facilitated by the Veepee Osinbajo is the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande.

Long before he returned to Nigeria to serve in the Office of the Vice President, the former reporter at The Guardian was also the pastor of RCCG Jesus Friends Assembly, Bayshore, New York.

According to the information on the Church website, Akande started the parish on May 13, 2007, then located in Brentwood.

In 2015, he was appointed as the spokesperson for the vice president.

Kperogi wrote that Akande abandoned his church to take up the government job in Nigeria.

“I’ve learned that Akande’s parish in New York has now closed,” he wrote.

The ICIR’s finding though shows that the church is still operating.

In fact, the Church’s Resurrection Celebration service is slated for Sunday, April 17 at its current address at 150 Motorparkway, Suite 304 Hauppauge, NY.

The third nominee of the VP on Kperogi’s list is the former Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) Babatunde Fowler.

Una may think this guy isn't doing damage to osinbajo

Trust me the powers that be are really listening, remember the powers that be had to use a pastor to pacify the image of jihadist buhari in 2015

A pastor would be a hard sell for head of the nation in the north

how much dem pay this one now! Lol

KleenSenator:
Kperogi will tear this guy to shreds

He's just making noise lol

KleenSenator:
Kperogi will tear this guy to shreds

The idiot is so inconsequential.

His wailing matters only for Yoruba Muslim miscreants.

Osinbajo for President.

He's publicizing Osinbajo unknowingly..


Remember, there's no bad publicity!

Even after Buhari filled up every appointments with headslammers amajiris so what is going to stop Osibanjo filling up positions with his own choice of people?

Farooq is a clueless attention seeker and propagandist. People should not give him the attention on the media again. He’s just looking for people to drag in order to fan base.

IamWonderful:
Kperogi is a paid antagonist, attacking dog and tool of the devil against perceived enemies of those he is working for.

But you can counter the points he raised

.

Okay.

So people still take that one seriously. What is the importance of being in abroad and getting money from people in Nigeria to smear and write stuffs against some people. Does that not show that the person is struggling

Osinbajo's camp have started the campaigning by presenting what Osinbajo have to offer Nigerians but the opposition are busing attacking others without telling us what their candidates have to offer Nigerians.

Isn't it on obvious that the current opposition in Nigeria are useless with nothing to offer Nigerians?
