The Redeemed Christians Church of God,RCCG, has
refuted the reports that the General Overseer of the
church has resigned.
The church in a press statement signed by Leke
Adeboye, on Saturday said that Pastor Enoch Adejare
Adeboye remains the General Overseer of Redeemed
Christians Church of God Worldwide.
Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye remains the General
Overseer, Worldwide of The Redeemed Christian
Church of God, RCCG. 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 today that
the Church Nigeria is now to be led by Pastor Joseph
Obayemi.
The statement clarified that the latest development is
sequel to the new legal requirements set up by the
Financial Regulations Council, guiding all registered
churches, mosques, and CSOs.
The regulation stipulates that heads of non profit
organisations like churches now have a maximum
period of twenty years to lead their organizations while
in retirement, they are not permitted to hand over to
their families.
Leke Adeboye also 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 this 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.
