A statement signed by Leke Adeboye, the clergyman’s last son and Personal Assistant said the clarification is coming on the heels of misrepresentation of Pastor E. A. Adeboye’s announcement at the Annual Ministers Thanksgiving held at the Redemption Camp on Saturday that the Church in Nigeria is now to be led by Pastor Joseph Obayemi.
Leke Adeboye reiterated that Pastor Funsho Odesola, will now serve as the new Church Secretary while Pastor Joseph Adeyokunu, is the new Church Treasurer.
He advised all members of RCCG to understand the new structure and go about their service to God and humanity in holiness and soul winning.
He also appealed to members to educate people around them and not spread inaccurate information stressing that Pastor E.A Adeboye remains the General Overseer of RCCG Worldwide.

Ok. But why Obayemi, Odesola and Adeyokunu, why not Musa or Emeka, seems more like a regional business than a church.
ReplyDeleteGo and ask Lazarus muoka,oritshejafor and co why their tribal men are @the helm of affairs.
DeleteHahahahahaha, @Musa or Emeka
DeleteMust you bring zoning into everything?
DeleteThis is church (God Kingdom business) and not politics...
Hmmmm!!
DeleteAnd where are the musas and emekas amidst the AGO, know things b4 you seems.
DeleteHi five! Does it mean there are no experienced hands from other parts of tbe country?
Delete@anon 8.00 so tbat justifies it? Should tribalism exist in God's house? This is why I believe everyday tbat people who don't go to church will probably make heaven over u a wey carry mat for there.
DeleteDem don come oooo, igbo claimu, always wanting to reap where they didn't sow. They wait and watch while other people start, strive and build anything, they stand back till it's a success then they snake their way in hoping to bully their way to the top and take over but they ALWAYS fail hence their constant cries. Shame on ALL Igbos, I spit on this shameless tribe! No apologies.
DeleteWhere was Emeka when Pa Akindayomi was slaving to build the church? Chukwudi was waiting for container on high sea when Baba Adeboye was serving diligently, abi. Shameless bunch of smelly goats, always spewing hate, you should have killed yourself when Phrikles abi kinonpe dumped your sorry arse, never too late, sniper is just #250, idiot!
DeleteHmmmmmmmm
DeleteHaba! When last you buy sniper? E don increase to #400 😂😂😂😂😂

ReplyDeleteDon't stress it,its christians,that are still the overseers. Biko,leave Buhari....the church of God ll keep marching on
DeleteYou better go an enlighten yourself and stop passing the wrong information on blogs!
DeleteThe law affects all religious bodies in Nigeria.
Just so you know, the bill has been there before President Buhari came into power.
Pele
DeleteYes, quite near. Him and his Muslim brothers
DeleteThank you for your comment. You see far. @ Mrs R, where have you ever hearf of anyone succeeding any one whether Iman or Sheik? Have you ever heard?
DeleteThe law affects all religious body and NGOs
DeleteIgnorant Ignoramus! The law is for all not-for-profit orgs.(churches, mosques, NGOs, Rights groups etc) and don't you dare call buhari into this. This Act was enacted in 2011 when your beloved Jonathan was in power.
DeleteNonsense!
Everything you pple will drag Buhari into it without doing your due diligence. Ignorant human being!
Okay now we know better
ReplyDelete#yearofsurprises
ReplyDeleteThanks for the information
ReplyDeleteOk.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless Everyone.
Nigerians- you tell them one thing, they hear something else.
ReplyDeleteThank you Anon,8:01. for this statement. They keep misleading others. Mscheeew!
DeleteMusa and Emeka should go and start their own Church. Ode
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmmmmm....
ReplyDeleteStella and my fellow bvs something big is abt to happen in Nigeria Churches ooh if we are to go by what is in today's punch..
All d general overseers in churches in Nigeria DAT has been a general superintendent above 2o years or has attained d age of 70 are all expected to retire..according to d laws stipulated in FRC..name them...bishop David oyedepo(my father)..pastor olukoya..pastor w.u.f kumuyi,pastor Chris oyakilome,pastor Chris okotie etc.
These people are up to something.. They are targeting general overseers..they are after something.. Only God will help d Christians in dis country..
Oh please shut up! That is how you people go about misleading people.
DeleteMschewwww thank God I serve a living God. I dont focus on MOGs
DeleteThis comment just made me angry, but I won't insult because I am not permitted to.
DeleteThank God.. I don't waste my time on blogs exchanging words with faceless people.. Help yourselves by getting today's punch and educate ur ignorant lots..
DeleteThe bill affects muslims too na. Make una dey read biko
DeleteYou have no words to exchange Lady J cos you are d ignorant one here. Read up the Act which happened to be enacted in 2011.
DeleteI already read the bill, it affects all religious bodies in Nigeria! Stella Dimoko, please try and publish it if you have gotten hold of it, so that many ignorant people will be enlightened.
ReplyDeletePastor E.A. Adeboye is still in one way or the other the G.O., we will be here to hear about it.
Thank God for a smooth handing over though.
Shut the fuck up! See as your body dey vibrate like nokia 3310 untop tbis matter. Ode
DeleteThanks dear.
DeleteThat was not signed by Leke Adeboye.
ReplyDeleteCan you correct the error in the write up please
I I don't agree with this new policy governing the church leadership..
ReplyDeleteLady j you better go back to school and stop spreading false rumours.
ReplyDeleteU better go and get today's punch..and read instead of staying here blabbing .
DeleteThe government cannot determine how a prophets business should be handled. When Oyedepo reaches 70, he will do as the Holy Spirit leads and the government will bow.
ReplyDeleteI only saw the word business, so y'all agree it's a business afterall.
DeleteThank you Anon 11.42
DeleteD law swings two ways..they get to retire either when they attain d age of 70 or they hv been general overseers for 20yrs..
DeleteIt has always been about 'the business' for them. Greedy lots!
DeleteLeadership issues now in churches just like in politics! Na wah o! A holy church will stand firm irrespective of who is leading them. Church leaders should see themselves as servants to those they lead. Jesus Christ was a servant leader.
ReplyDeleteChris oyahkilome follow suit
ReplyDeleteAnon 09:30 you have summed up exactly how they are. You have described them down to the T.
ReplyDeleteIn their tiny minds they think they are smart and others are stupid and that is why they will forever remain where they are. Those who know them, know them and deal with them at arms length and eat with them with a verrry long spoon. There is no other way to associate with them.
Four one nine pretending religion! even the other religion dey more truthful pass una. Christianity is the worst religion on earth, 95% of its followers are fake, they curses, steals, very deceitful, pretends, manipulate and so quick to point fingers to other people's faults but undermined their own evil shit while they fornicate with church members or pastors, molest and abort innocent babies. I can go on and on but make I stop here
ReplyDelete@anon12:12 Bia who made u a judge over christianity.u wen no get sin or fault make u come out make I c u...if u b Islam dey ur own lane now, make we c road.Even BBc,CNN,etc tire 4 Islam mata.dem no no how dem won take tlk am.u no dey bow say with all d things wen dey happen,we still stand gidigba.i no go curse u.u hear,i leave am 4 ur village people.u won compare as u b God.clueless somborri
DeleteBuhari has something up his sleeve but the defender of the righteous will destroy all evil plan. I wonder what Osinbajo is doing in that Aso Rock.........God is bigger than all evil change of this scam change government of clueless and visionless Buhari
ReplyDeleteI dont understand sholetega. Was Buhari in power in 2011 when the Act was enacted? And how come it also affects Muslims and NGO's?
DeleteAfter Abraham, Isaac took over, after David, Solomon took over and so on. Make una no grow up.
ReplyDeleteThis is just the beginning! Sooner or later, government will start taxing the churches, masques and other NGOs, mark my words! The drummers are getting the beats ready!
ReplyDeleteNo government determines how a church should run. It is the law of the land. Just like the Apostles during the Roman rule. You follow the laws.
ReplyDeleteI had to consult, shey una get the logic
What all this rants for now. What has Buhari got to do with church again. U guys shld better be careful. Is vab Adeboye complaining
ReplyDeleteI have always been a proud member of RCCG but this singular act made me even more Proud. Pastor Adeboye has acted on his own instruction. Listen and obey the law. No one is above the law of the land. No GO or daddy or Senior Pastor of any Church. Plus am sure that he would have prayed severally about it and gotten direction from his daddy. Sir may your anointing never run dry
