Pastor EA Adeboye
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has made it clear that the church has not endorsed the aspiration of one of its pastors, Prof. Yemi Osibajo, as the vice presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress(APC).
APC presidential flag bearer Muhammed Buhari on Wednesday named Osibajo as his running mate in the forthcoming 2015 elections, after much wheeling and dealing that saw the former favorites like Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State drop out of contention.
Adeboye, who was reacting to the subtle endorsement of Osibajo by a Twitter handle: @rccgworldwide, presumed to be the official Twitter handle of the RCCG, denounced the page.
He said in a Tweet credited to him on @rccghq: “RCCG is not affiliated nor represented by @rccgworldwide.
“The church’s official twitter page is @rccghq.”
In no fewer than four other tweets, the church equally faulted the endorsement of Osibajo by the creators of @rccgworldwide.
One of the tweets by the Pastors Seed reads: “RCCG has not celebrated anybody for any position in the forthcoming elections! The #OfficialRCCG handle is @rccghq. Do not be misled.”
Another reads: “We are a mission and we do not meddle into politics #RCCG #OfficialRCCG @RCCGworldwide is wrong.”
Another said: “#OfficialRCCG – @rccghq We do not denounce neither do we endorse candidacies for elections. We are not a political party.”
