Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye remains the General Overseer, Worldwide of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG.
A statement signed by Pastor 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.
Pastor Leke Adeboye 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.
