The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor E. A. Adeboye, has finally replied protesters who stormed his Redemption Camp early this week, accusing him of being silent in the face of growing insecurity in the country.
Recall that Charlyboy and popular rapper Eederis Abdulkareem, led other protesters against the man of God, accusing him of being silent on insecurity in Nigeria.
In a statement signed by the Public Relations Officer of the church, Olaitan Olubiyi, Adeboye explained that there are different ways of responding to issues affecting the country, stressing that being quiet does not necessarily mean being silent.
He made it clear that he is committed to the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), who are mandated to speak on issues affecting the church and the nation.
“The aforementioned Christian bodies had spoken on the issues of kidnapping, killing of Christians, herdsmen attacks and general insecurity in Nigeria and his position and that of the RCCG was not different from their expressed views.
“Adeboye who said that to be quiet does not mean that you are silent, disclosed that he had made his views on the issues known to all the relevant authorities. He declared that very soon, Nigerians shall see that God answers prayers. He enjoined all to remain calm and maintain the peace.
“The RCCG leader had always called the congregation to prayers against kidnapping, bloodshed and general insecurity at the monthly all-night Holy Ghost Service held at the Redemption Camp.
“Pastor Adeboye led the congregation in supplication for God’s mercy on Nigeria after speaking on the negative consequences of bloodshed and inhumanity,” the statement read.
