The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church Of
God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has stepped down as the leader of the
church in Nigeria... it has been reported
It was gathered that Pastor Adeboye would maintain oversight of the
church across the world, which now has presence in over 190 countries
The 75-year-old revered cleric was said to have announced his
retirement from the leadership of the Nigerian church on Saturday during
the Annual Minister’s Thanksgiving at Shimawa area of Ogun State
The announcement was said to have been made in the presence of
Nigeria’s Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, alongside other senior pastors
of the church
Pastor Adeboye took over the leadership of the RCCG from late Pa Josiah Akindayomi, who founded the church in 1952.
He has named Pastor Joshua Obayemi as his replacement, and asked members of the church to pray for the new leadership
A Facebook post by Stealth Scouts NG, which was shared on Pastor
Adeboye’s wall, read “It was with great shock that the congregation of
all RCCG pastors and ministers received the announcement of the General
Overseer of Pastor E.A. Adeboye that he will no longer be general
overseer.
“He immediately announced the new Overseer as Pastor J.O Obayemi,
Pastor J.F Odesola as Secretary and Pastor J.A. Adeyokunnu as the new
Treasurer.
“The announcement was made during the church’s annual thanksgiving
held at the 3km by 3km new auditorium today, 7th January, 2017”.
