  • Man Calls Out Pastor Adeboye After Alleged RCCG Protest Over Insecurity Was Cancelled

    A Nigerian man has gone viral on social media after publicly criticising the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Enoch Adeboye, over the alleged cancellation of a planned peaceful protest against insecurity in the country.

    The man, who spoke in a viral video circulating online, claimed church members were initially instructed to embark on a three-day fasting programme before participating in a peaceful walk with placards to protest worsening insecurity across Nigeria.

    “We Were Told There Would Be No Sunday Service”

    According to him, RCCG members were informed during a church service that the protest walk would replace regular Sunday worship activities.

    “Last week Sunday, we were told we would do a three days fasting which started on Friday. On Sunday, there won’t be service in every Redeemed Christian Church of God because we would head out for a peaceful walk protest,” he said.

    The man alleged that after members arrived at church prepared for the protest, a fresh directive was suddenly announced cancelling the planned march.

    Accusations Against Church Leadership

    Speaking emotionally in Yoruba, the man accused church leaders of remaining silent despite increasing insecurity and hardship in the country.

    He further alleged that the protest was cancelled because of political influence linked to Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, who is also a pastor in RCCG.

    “Just because the wife of the president of this country, Oluremi Tinubu, who is a pastor in Redeem, gave an order, you people cancelled the protest,” he said.

    He also directly addressed Pastor Adeboye in the video, expressing disappointment over the alleged decision.

    “Daddy, may God judge you. We’re no longer safe in this country, we’re finished. The church is ruined. Redeem members were told to hold protest, but you Daddy Enoch Adeboye stopped that protest,” he added.

    Mixed Reactions Online

    The video has generated intense reactions online, with many Nigerians divided over the allegations and the role of religious institutions in addressing national issues.

    Some social media users supported the man’s frustration, insisting that influential religious leaders should speak more openly against insecurity and hardship.

    Others defended Pastor Adeboye and the church leadership, arguing that there was no official confirmation of any planned nationwide protest by RCCG.

    As of the time of filing this report, RCCG had not released any official statement addressing the viral claims or confirming whether such a protest was ever scheduled.

    The incident adds to ongoing conversations surrounding insecurity in Nigeria and growing public expectations for religious and community leaders to speak more strongly on national challenges.

  • Adeboye Defies Critics, Says RCCG Won’t Remove Oluremi Tinubu as Pastor

    The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has dismissed calls for the removal of Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, from her position as an ordained minister.

    Adeboye addresses growing controversy

    Speaking during the church’s monthly Holy Ghost Service at the Redemption Camp, Adeboye said the church would not bow to pressure over the matter.

    He stressed that RCCG decisions are guided by internal doctrines, not public opinion or political influence.

    Ordination predates presidency

    Adeboye explained that Oluremi Tinubu was ordained as an assistant pastor long before President Bola Tinubu declared interest in contesting for office.

    According to him, her position in the church has no connection to her current role as First Lady.

    Insists due process was followed

    The cleric stated that she fulfilled all requirements for ordination within the church.

    “Oluremi Tinubu was ordained as an assistant pastor over 10 years ago, followed all the church processes of ordination, and hasn’t violated the church’s guidelines, so RCCG won’t remove her despite external pressure. The church isn’t APC,” he said.

    Church rejects political interference

    Adeboye also dismissed suggestions that her political status should affect her role in the ministry.

    He maintained that the church would continue to operate independently of political considerations.
