The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has called on the Federal Government to enforce strict accountability on Nigeria’s security chiefs over the worsening security situation in the country.
The cleric’s remarks, originally made during the November 2025 Holy Ghost Service and resurfaced on June 2, 2026, have continued to generate widespread reactions across social media platforms.
Call for 90-Day Ultimatum
In the video, Adeboye urged the government to give security chiefs a 90-day deadline to eliminate terrorists and their sponsors or step down from office.
He said the directive should be firm and applied regardless of the status or influence of those involved in terrorism financing or operations.
“Find a way to convince the President of America to please delay his actions for about 100 days. Then come home and tell our security chiefs to get rid of these terrorists within 90 days or resign,” he said.
Focus on Terrorism Sponsors
Adeboye also stressed the need to dismantle the networks behind terrorist activities, insisting that sponsors must be identified and dealt with decisively.
He referenced previous advice given during the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari, noting that similar directives had been issued in the past but were not fully implemented.
Context of Rising Insecurity
The resurfacing of the video comes amid ongoing insecurity challenges in Nigeria, including bandit attacks, kidnappings, and terrorist activities in several regions.
Recent incidents, including school abductions in parts of the country, have intensified public debate on security reforms and government response strategies.
While supporters praised the cleric for his call for accountability and action-driven leadership, critics questioned the timing and consistency of his public interventions across different administrations.
