The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has dismissed reports suggesting that its General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, endorsed any political party or candidate, insisting that he remains non-partisan in his public engagements.
In a statement released on Tuesday through its official public relations handle on X, the church clarified that Adeboye has consistently encouraged members to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and vote according to their conscience.
RCCG said the cleric’s message has always centred on civic responsibility rather than loyalty to any political party. The church added that its members belong to different political parties and should remain free to exercise their democratic rights responsibly.
The church also rejected reports claiming that Adeboye called off a planned protest, describing the allegation as false.
According to RCCG, Adeboye merely communicated a directive from the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) regarding an adjustment to a three-day prayer programme. The revised arrangement involved holding the grand finale at a central venue and organising a rally around the location.
RCCG further dismissed claims that the General Overseer has remained silent on national issues. The church stated that Adeboye has publicly addressed matters including insecurity, corruption, economic hardship, elections, governance and the need for righteous leadership.
However, it noted that he often approaches such issues through prayer, moral guidance and counsel rather than partisan confrontation.
The church stressed that neither Adeboye nor RCCG should be defined by false narratives or inaccurate reports. It urged members of the public to rely on the church’s official communication channels and authorised representatives for information concerning the General Overseer and the mission.
RCCG also called on bloggers, commentators, media organisations and content publishers to verify information before publication.
According to the church, the public deserves truthful information, while Adeboye and RCCG deserve fair and accurate representation.
“Verify before you believe. Fact-check before you publish. Truth matters,” the statement said.
