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.
