The Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, has responded to reports of a meeting between its General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, and All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate Bola Tinubu Charmingpro reportsÂ
According to RCCG, contrary to popular belief, Pastor Adeboye never met with Tinubu about the Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket
It was reported that Tinubu met with Adeboye over the weekend.
However, our correspondent’s attempts to confirm the reported meeting with Tinubu’s Media Aide, Tunde Rahman, were unsuccessful because he had yet to respond to a text message sent to his mobile number.
However, the church issued a statement dismissing the allegations.
“It has come to our attention that some new outlets are reporting that a meeting between Pastor E.A. Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God worldwide, and former Governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu, was held a few days back at the Redemption Camp where our esteemed father in the Lord was said to have supported the preferred candidature of the party the former governor was said to have supported,” the statement reads in part.
“Pastor E.A. Adeboye and the RCCG have not and will not endorse any candidate in Nigeria’s 2023 general elections.”
