Pastor attacks RCCG General Overseer Adeboye, declares him a fake prophet

RCCG General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye.

Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the revered General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has been branded a fake, fortune-seeking and an inconsistent political pastor who always prays for politicians for cash.

He came under attack by Pastor Julius Oluwafemi, presumably from Ekiti State, who sought to rubbish the man popularly called Daddy GO by millions of admirers.

Pastor Julius Oluwafemi launched the blistering attack in an article titled “Pastor Adeboye’s Endorsement Of Gov. Ayo Fayose And Its Contradictions,” published on Wednesday by Sahara Reporters.

The article, apparently in response to Pastor Adeboye’s recent visit to Ekiti, during which he praised Governor Ayo Fayose of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), says in part: “Instead of paying millions of naira to purchase political endorsement of religious leaders, Governor Fayose should realise that Pastor Adeboye is an inconsistent politician.

Even though he supported and prayed in vain for the re-election of President Goodluck Jonathan he has since switched his alliance and loyalty to President Buhari.

“After all, he prays for the success of the Buhari regime on the ground that Professor Yemi Osinbajo, the Vice-President, is a pastor within the RCCG fold. These days, he goes in and out of the presidential villa at Abuja to pray for President Buhari.”

The article was published three days after the Ekiti State chapter of the federal-ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) berated Pastor Adeboye for commending and praying for Governor Fayose during his visit.

The party in a statement issued on Sunday by its State Chairman, Mr Jide Awe, accused Pastor Adeboye of collecting millions of naira as bribe to commend Governor Fayose.

It asked: “Is Pastor Adeboye asking other governors to travel to China to execute fake projects like the poultry scam?”

“Why are these fortune-seeking pastors pretending to be winning souls for Christ when they are selfish traders who are busy exploiting the ignorance of worshippers? Instead of visiting the poor in prisons, our fake pastors visit corrupt politicians who have stolen billions.”

Pastor Adeboye had during his recent visit to Ekiti as part of his tour of the country as part of the church’s annual ‘Let’s Go A Fishing’ programme said to Governor Fayose: “We thank God for your courage, for your boldness, we thank God for your being willing to take risks so that your people can be protected. You have been a Governor who knows when to say enough is enough in defence of his people. And I’m sure you know what I’m talking about and I am sure the world knows. I don’t want to say more than that but be assured that we are praying for you and you will succeed in Jesus’ name.”
