Of RCCG
After the surprise announcement by Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye that he's retiring as the pastor and general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) on saturday, the church in a statement has quickly reacted the to the ongoing wild spread information and misinformation in the public domain stating Pastor Adeboye only relinquished his position as head of the Nigeria church but will remain RCCG's worldwide overseer.
According to a statement signed by Leke Adeboye, the
clergyman's last son and personal assistant, the
announcement of a new Nigeria overseer was made in compliance with the new legal requirements set up by the Financial Regulations Council for all registered churches, mosques, and CSOs, which stipulate that heads of non-profit organisations like churches now have a maximum period of 20 years to lead their organisations while in retirement.
Such heads are also not permitted to hand over to their families.
Leke Adeboye reiterated that Funsho Odesola, a pastor, will now serve as the new church secretary, Joseph Adeyokunu, another pastor, is the new church treasurer.
He advised all members of RCCG to "understand this new structure and go about their service to God and humanity in holiness and soul winning".
"We appeal to members to educate people around them and not spread inaccurate information, as Pastor E.A Adeboye remains the General Overseer of RCCG Worldwide."
With this statement, it is now crystal clear that their is no leadership tussle in RCCG has it is been insinuated earlier following Pastor E.A Adeboye surprise announcement that he's retiring as the church pastor and G.O.
