RCCG Trends As Adeboye, Kumuyi Keep Mum Hours To Presidential Election by Clevite(m): 11:37am On Feb 24, 2023
The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) led by Pastor Enoch A. Adeboye has been trending on social media in the last 48 hours over the clergy’s ‘refusal’ to openly endorse any presidential candidate ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
Naija News reports that some renowned pastors and prophets in Nigeria have openly told their congregants their preferred presidential candidates and as well urged them to vote the same.


Data from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) earlier, revealed that 93,469,008 Nigerians registered and are ready to vote in the coming elections. The commission, however, on Thursday updated its portal, noting that a total of 87,209,007 Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) were collected by eligible registrants for the elections.

As it stands, over 87 Million Nigerians are expected to go tomorrow to exercise their civic duty and elect the next president of Nigeria. Saturday’s election is for the Presidential election and National Assembly candidates.

However, less than 24 hours before the poll, Adeboye and his counterparts, the Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry (DCLM), William Folorunsho Kumuyi, and Founder of the Living Faith Church Worldwide (a.k.a Winners Chapel), Bishop David Oyedepo, have all remained silent about the Saturday election.

Recall that the major contenders for the presidential election on Saturday are the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) Atiku Abubakar, New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) candidate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and the Labour Party (LP) candidate, Peter Obi.

Hours into the poll, Nigerians are worried that Adeboye, Kumuyi and Oyedepo ‘shunned’ the most critical event that will shape the country in the next four years.

Naija News understands that a series of speculations are made on social media about why the clerics have refused to speak God’s mind since they all claim to hear from him.

It could be recalled that RCCG’s Adeboye was criticized in 2015 for allegedly endorsing President Muhammadu Buhari and Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, to lead the country.

It was said that prayers were held for Osinbajo at the church and he was admonished to remain a good ambassador of the church while in office. Sometime in 2017, Osinbajo, who is a spiritual son to Adeboye and a Pastor in the RCCG, said his spiritual father permitted him to accept Buhari’s offer to be his running mate in 2015.

Adeboye, however, has since debunked the claims that he endorsed Buhari and Osinbajo. Naija News observed that Adeboye usually receive presidential candidates, like his counterparts in his Church and would pray that the will of God be fulfilled in their ambition.

However, since top Christian and Muslim clerics are already informing their followers who to vote for come Saturday, there are many anticipations that Adeboye, Oyedepo and Kumuyi will also speak their minds, or better still reveal what God has told them about the poll.

Stop dragging religious leaders and respect their decision to stay neutral. That is how people introduce schisms into the church.

They have since told Nigerians to vote those who they feel will lead them aright.

Can't people use their head again? Or they are too lazy to decide what's best for themselves?

Go out and vote and stop waiting for any pastor to endorse anyone for you.

Even the Eleven apostles encouraged their followers to cast lots to determine who would replace Judas (Acts 1:26).

Someone can't even be a pastor in peace again. Most of the pastors they are dragging on Twitter are not the ones in power.

Let's focus on what next after today, not what happened yesterday.

I don't know about adeboye and kumuyi but as for winners one can deduce where his heart is by his statements and that of his 2nd in command telling his members to vote in defense of their faith.
He can't say more than that.

These people called Obidients are more touchy and aggressive now that the fate of Peter Obi their candidate is getting closer to be determined at the poll. They seem to have seen defeat staring them in the face. Now they are looking for just anyone to transfer their aggressions to. They see any pastor that does not join the craze of pulpits endorsements they have been vigorously seeking for Peter Obi as enemies. They are just going for any Pastors that cross their mind to cancel them out.

They can't support Tinubu so they will rather remain neutral since their choice Peter Obi is not Yoruba or likely to win the election

Christianity is different from Islam. We xtian are free to choose for ourselves just like you have to use your mouth to confess that you accept Jesus Christ as your lord and saviour before you become born again.
But in Islam their imam is a small god that can tell his followers to do whatever and they must obey, sorry to say that's why we have terrorism more in Islam than other religions.

Now in a church congregation, we have people with different opinions about each candidate, so you don't expect the pastor to tell you whom to vote, he can only stylishly tell you who he's voting with tangible reasons, that's what a geniue MOG should do.

Whereas Islamic clerics are pushing for Islamic state Tomorrow, they will ask us to pray that God give Nigeria good leaders.

Must they talk before you vote your conscience? Must you impose your candidate on others by fire by force?
Must everyone listen to their influence? What if they endorse another unknown Christian like dumebi and co, will the critics accept them in good faith?
Even if they talk, many of their followers will still vote anyone they believe in.
This election results will shock many people. Body of christ is not for gambling and pingpong.

Be assured these two are our beloved fathers in faith we must honour as unto God. RCCG as a mission have been in 50days fasting and prayers seeking the face of God in all that touches both our spiritual lives and physical livelihood...

They are silent because they are praying. We are in a crucial moment. Spiritual Fathers don't talk except they are led by the spirit of God.

Jesus loves you.
