The true story behind Pastor Adeboye’s retirement

The true story behind Pastor Adeboye’s retirement contradicts the [….]rumours currently trending on social media and numerous blogs.

Top editors and media publishers have circulated the news to the public that Pastor Adeboye has retired as the General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) and also named Obayemi as his successor.

This information is totally false and contradicts the true story of what really happened. The members of the Redeemed Christian Church of God have come out to kick against such rumours.

The true story behind Pastor Adeboye’s retirement has been revealed. According to Mr. Olaitan Olusiyi, The Managing editor,  Redemption Light Magazine at the Redeemed Christian Church of God, he said in his response to this rumours:

“Please get your information correct. Pastor ADEBOYE is still the General Overseer of the RCCG, a church currently in 192 countries. The appointment of Pastor Obayemi is into the new office of the Overseer for Nigeria just as we have officers of the same status in Regions outside Nigeria. I feel this information will help in understanding the news breaking from RCCG.”

It was revealed that issues regarding the retirement of Pastor Enoch Adeboye was addressed in 2016 when the church kicked against those calling for his retirement as the Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God.

In response to this motion, the Special Assistant to the 72 year old Overseer Pastor Johnson Odesola said:

” The church’s constitution did not state that anyone above 70 years should not lead the ministry.”

He also added that:

“Whereas the constitution provided that the deputy and assistant general overseers are appointed to retire at 70 and enjoy their retirement benefits for life, there is no such provision for the general overseer.”

Now on behalf of the media, ukridosblog wish to apologise to all members of the Redeemed Christian Church of God for the mixup in information. Please for more stories on this issues keep following us on ukrido.com .
