The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has disclosed how one of his spiritual daughters was asked to inflate the price of a road construction project from N3 million to N33 million.
Adeboye made the disclosure while noting that corruption persist in the society because Christians who are supposed to make a difference have been compromised.
Speaking at the annual RCCG conference along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Adeboye urged Christians to shun double standards.
He said, “We talk about corruption in Nigeria. Why do you think corruption has become so deep? it is because we Christians, who are supposed to be peculiar people, are not making any difference. It’s so difficult to even know who is who.
“One of my daughters got a contract to tar a road in one of the states in Nigeria. She gave a proposal of N3 million, but they asked her to put N33 million. She was surprised, turned down the offer and said I am a child of God, how will I spend the money? They looked at her as if she was somebody who dropped from the sky.”
Speaking further, Adeboye added: “Another child of mine told another story. She applied for a contract. They gave her to go and tar a road. She got to the road and found that the road was already tarred. She came back and told them there must have been a mistake. They said,” What is your problem, collect your money and give us our own.”
