Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye has appointed a General Overseer for the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Nigeria. According to the 74 year old clergyman, Pastor Joseph Obayemi, will oversee the affairs of the church here in Nigeria. Obayemi was deputy in charge of Finance and a member of governing council, before his appointment.
Adeboye made the announcement during the church’s annual thanksgiving held at the 3km new auditorium today 7th January 2016.
Pastor J.F Odesola is now the church’s Secretary while Pastor J.A. Adeyokunnu is the new Treasurer. Present at the thanksgiving service were Vice President Yemi Osibajo and other Senior Pastors of the Church.
Pastor Enoch Adeboye was appointed the General Overseer of the Church in 1981, taking over from late Papa Akindayomi.
This retirement would surely set some tongues wagging. I remember some years back now, pastor Adeboye prophesied that the man he would handed over the baton of the church to was still enjoying his life at the pub. That is, he hasn’t born again.
Now, what has happened negates that prophesy and a lot of people, just like i did, would also remember this.
It is well sha. He has served meritoriously. He needs to rest.
