The Redeemed Christian Church of God has said the
decision of its General Overseer, Enoch Adeboye, to
appoint a national overseer for the church in Nigeria
remains unchanged.
During a press briefing of journalists at the Redemption Camp, Mowe, Ogun state, the church's Head of Media and Public Relations, Pastor Segun Adegbiji, said Adeboye had resigned as the head of the church in Nigeria since last week Saturday, reportedly in compliance with the "code of Good Governance" enacted by the Financial Regulations Commission of Nigeria(FRCN).
The church's Head of Media and Public Relations, Pastor Segun Adegbiji, said "If you know Daddy GO (Adeboye) very well, he does not make such an important decision without consulting the Church Council, and most importantly, God."
He continued, "That decision has been made and
it does not in any way affect his position as the
General Overseer of the RCCG.
"So, there is no need to reverse the decision after
the Federal Government has suspended the
implementation of the FRC law" he said.
Pastor Adeboye had named Pastor Obayemi as the overseer of the church in Nigeria and took on the new title of General Overseer, RCCG, Worldwide in new leadership structure to effect the new change that occured.
President Muhammadu Buhari had on Monday reacted to the furore created by the FRC law by sacking the Executive Secretary of the FRC, Mr. Jim
Obazee.
This was disclosed via a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, which approved the sacking and the replacement of Obazee with immediate effect.
