Pastor E.A Adeboye: G.O, RCCG, Worldwide

By Femi Anjorin

In what many believed to be an unprecedented move, the Redeemed Christian Church of God has flagged of a political awareness campaign tagged’ Let My People Vote’ .

According to Pastor Ola Adejubee, the Assistant Pastor in Charge of RCCG Region 1 who is also the coordinator of this initiative, the whole thing was the vision of RCCG General Overseer, Pastor E.A Adeboye.

It all started in January 6th 2017 during the annual Ministers Thanksgiving. As part of his introductory statement, Pastor Adeboye jolted the ministers when he instructed them to go and collect PVCS.

If the above statement came as a surprise to the ministers, they became dumbfounded when in August last year, during RCCG annual Ministers Conference, Pastor Adeboye asked them to go and join any political party of their choice. This time, it was with an emotional laden voice.

On 15th of June 2018 a political awareness conference tagged ‘Let My People Vote’ that signaled the beginning of what many described as a revolutionary move by arguably the fastest growing church in the world began.

The event speakers were Apostle Alex Bamgbola, Chairman of Lagos State Christian Association of Nigeria; Pastor J.T Kalejaiye, Special Assistant to the General Overseer on Evangelism; Pastor Idowu Iluyomade, Special Assistant to the General Overseer on Christian Social Responsibility; Pastor Bosun Emmanuel, Representing the National Christian Elders Forum; Pastor Ilesanmi, RCCG Region 2 Evangelist (he represented the National Overseer of the church). The consensus amongst all the speakers was that Christian should play very active role in the process that would lead to a new political dispensation in 2019.

The conference ended with participants having great expectations and eagerly awaiting the role they would play in bringing about the birth of a New Nigeria.
