I Consulted Pastor Adeboye Before Accepting To Be Buhari’s Running Mate - Osinbajo

APC’s Muhammadu Buhari's running mate, Yemi Osinbajo who also doubles as a pastor in the Redeemed Christian Church Of God, said he consulted the General Overseer of the church, Pastor E.A Adeboye, before embarking on this journey, Mr Osinbajo spoke to Kayode Falade...
The Redeemed Christian Church of God, where you are a pastor, has come out to say it never endorsed you…
I don’t think the church has ever said any such thing. Also, the church does not endorse candidates. The General Overseer of the church, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has not said any such thing. He has not issued any statement. In any event, the RCCG as a church cannot endorse a candidate. How can a church endorse a candidate?
But did you seek Pastor Adeboye’s consent before accepting the nomination?

I serve under the GO of the RCCG as a pastor. If I am going to take any kind of action, especially an action that involves public service, it is my duty to consult with him. It would be absolutely irresponsible of me not to consult with him. And I have consulted with him.

Did he give you his consent?

I have consulted with Adeboye fully. I am not prepared to share with you the details of our discussion. But be absolutely certain that I would not take these steps without properly consulting with him and that I did what was needful.

U consulted pastor adeboye bla bla bla.......did u consult God? Or abi na him be ur God? Mugu!

Unknown said...

Good answer indeed... He Can only seek for his consent & blessing... But it is solely his personal decision to make....

Unknown said...

Thank God he did not implicate Adeboye.

D GO operate in wisdom and made everytin so clear.

Dis is wisdom in action dat other MOG should emulate not d other Rev. Father we hav.

Pls Lili confirm dat story of dat Rev. Father bcos am seriously doubting it. Dat man has grt interity as long as his faith is concern. He wouldn't do anytin of such ill character.

Am Catholic and my partner is RCCG. We r@cross road over here.

Unknown said...

Well, being a pastor doesn't guarantee success...and consult Adeboye doesn't too.
Anyway, I support him all the way.

LMAO @ your "who also doubles" phrase. Linda you're getting too Americanized for your own good. To understand that word, a person would have to have spent a lot of years or be an American-movie obsessed to understand that word. You're funny as hell! You're right, tho. He's a VP aspirant who double's,on his free time as a pastor. Hahahahaha!

In politics everything, even the minutest is made an issue of. What does it matter if RCCG endorses him or approves? Is that suppose to stop him winning or what?

It seems you don't really understand what he's trying to say, he said he consulted Pst.Adeboye because he's serving as a pastor under him..

You obviously did not read the post before dropping this comment. Aside from GEJ, you're another problem that needs to be solved. Olori gbeske.

That's the problem with you guys who see Jonathan as your lord and saviour. If the man was in PDP i'm sure you'd have praised him.

The man is very intelligent. Saw him on Channels TV last night. I'm definitely voting APC.

It is time Christians gets involved in leading countries. Jeremiah 29 encourages living in cities and serving the city and promoting the welfare of the city while keeping your spiritual identity. Why must we live in a bubble when the wicked take over our country.

He shld b ashamed of himself ft what? Ur a big fool and u will remain one forever. David was a king and a priest, so I dnt get it when people trash men of God going into politics provided he's got d backn of God, nd I dnt remember him sayn p adeboye is God. I dnt go to redeem but ur d one dt needs to shut ur mouth nd knw dt u ain't d one dt called him but God. So allow God b d judge here.

I like and respect Osibanjo especially because of his humility. We are in the same professor and church, RCCG. I read from some quarters what he said about GEJ and I know that Daddy GO always admonish us to prayer for our leaders. I therefore find it difficult to reconcile Osinbanjo's present attack on the President with what the Bible tells us in the book of Chronicles about our leaders. It will definitively make some people to backslide and scare others away from recieving salvation

You sound clueless and probably senseless. He has a duty to report to his superior before accepting the proposal. He has every right to say yes or no but because he is a pastor under that organization. He took the right step. He is also not using Pst Adeboye to canvas. He did not being up the question your journalist did and he gave an excellent answer.

Pastor of RCCG being the stooge for Tinubu! It is a shame. The day any Pastor of RCCG preaches that we should vote for APC (because of Osinbajo), I may quit the church.
