The Olugbon of Orile-Igbon in Oyo State, Oba Francis Alao, on Monday, explained why the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, sat on one of his palace chairs at a recent occasion in his domain.

There was a viral photo on social media showing Pastor Adeboye sitting on the royal chair with some people condemning the monarch for allowing it.

The monarch, who is also the Deputy Chairman, Oyo State Council of Obas and Chiefs, in a statement personally signed to react to the viral video, and congratulate Christians nationwide, said, “My attention has been drawn to different types of reactions to a photo circulating on social media where the G.O of RCCG, Pastor Adeboye sat on one of the palace chairs.

“Let me set the record straight by reminding all that Pastor Adeboye was in Orile-Igbon for an evangelism programme which held on the playground of Olugbon High School. His chopper landed in an open space within the palace from where I received him to my living room. We spent some time talking about Nigeria and Orile-Igbon before we moved to the venue of the programme where thousands of people already gathered.

“I joined the revered priest at the venue as a mark of support for the programme given that his coming to the ancient town will be a blessing to us. And he did pray for both the town and everyone that attended.

“As a mark of honour, I offered one of the ceremonial royal chairs that are usually reserved for top dignitaries to Pastor Adeboye to be used at the programme. It should be noted that the chair is not the particular one that is reserved for the Olugbon which can not be shared with anyone because of its spiritual and historical significance.

“The royal chairs are provided in palaces to honour high-ranking dignitaries, not to desecrate the throne. I, therefore, seek the understanding of all those expressing concern about the issue. There is a traditional royal chair that is meant for only the Kabiyesi, and there are traditional ceremonial chairs for very important persons. The throne of the ancient town of Orile-Igbon remains sacrosanct.”

This will be okay in the eyes of many biased bats

If adeboye were to be an Igbo pastor, a lot of people will say he has no respect for traditional authority.

Na tribalism go kee Nigeria

What else do you have to say after this clarification?!

You are dealing with a civilize tribe that the whites didn't meet nake'd wrapping rafia around their genitals.

That's correct

You go explain Tire no evidence. It's alright

The igwe is correct, Adeboye didn't sit in the royal chair, he SLEPT on it.

Thanks for the clarification Chief.

No evidence.... But maybe he slept on it

Hehehe

The way some people carry the matter for head like the gala they sell on the streets of Lagos is baffling

And also jumping from Pawpaw Trees to Mango Trees in search of food, at a time when our own ancestors were already running the OYO empire that stretched from the Southwestern part of the Country all the way to Dahomey in the present-day Benin Republic.

Reno Omokri really did a good job exposing these primitive & uncouth barbarians on Twitter for what they truly are.

Many of your do not know how mightily blessed and how great Pastor Adeboye is. Many envy him, some hate him but his influence permeates the entire globe. There seems to be no brand as ubiquitous as the name and RCCG brand in Nigeria.

It is perhaps, the first and only brand out of Nigeria that's available all over the world in a recognized quantity and quality.

God bless RCCG
God bless Yoruba land
God bless Pastor E.A Adeboye.
God bless Nigeria.

Always sowing seeds of sedition here and there. The lastest is the surprise Fubura pulled on vain labourers.

I guess this matter can rest now. What's new on the trend now？
