The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) General Overseer, Pastor Adejare Adeboye says he is not a politician but a pastor, thus putting to rest rumours flying around town that he has become a politician.
He said this during the April Thanksgiving Service on Sunday,April 3,2022.
The cleric told those who cared to listen that God has called him to be a pastor and not a politician.
He said; “I am a pastor, I am not even a prophet. I hear God once in a while. My assignment has nothing to do with partisan politics. Don’t distract my attention.”
“I have never said to my members this is the political party you must belong to. In Redeemed Church every party is well represented.
“The only reason I have never voted is because if I vote for anyone I will be unjust to any of my children. I am the father of all.”
“All I am saying as a Nigerian is that you must cast your vote. You have a duty as a Nigerian to register, vote and make your vote count. You cannot sit down, fold your arms and refused to vote and then complain about the government.
“You must register, you must vote, you must sit after you have voted and make sure the votes are well counted. Make sure there is no rigging.
“I know some people want to distract my attention. My assignment is to pray.
“The reason why I am not a politician is because I pray for every candidate that comes to me for prayer that the will of God will be done.
“Interestingly witches are interested in politics. Then, should Christians go to sleep.”
Expressing his fears about the 2023 general elections, the cleric said God has not told him whether there would be elections or not.
