The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has clarified the political position of its General Overseer, Enoch Adejare Adeboye, stating that he has not endorsed any political party.

The church issued the clarification amid reports and social media discussions suggesting that Pastor Adeboye had publicly aligned himself with a particular political group.

According to RCCG, the respected cleric remains committed to his spiritual responsibilities and has not authorized any political endorsement on his behalf.

Church Emphasizes Neutrality

In its statement, the church stressed that Pastor Adeboye's messages are focused on faith, national peace, moral values, and prayers for Nigeria rather than partisan politics.

RCCG also urged members of the public to verify information from official church channels and avoid spreading unverified claims regarding the pastor's political views.

Observers note that religious leaders often face scrutiny during politically active periods, making official clarifications important when misinformation circulates.

Calls for Responsible Public Discourse

The church encouraged Nigerians to engage in peaceful and respectful political discussions while maintaining unity and mutual respect regardless of political differences.

Analysts say statements from prominent religious figures can attract significant public attention, particularly in a country where faith communities play an important role in national life.

The clarification is expected to address concerns among church members and the wider public regarding Pastor Adeboye's position ahead of future political activities.

Focus Remains on Spiritual Leadership

Pastor Adeboye remains one of Nigeria's most influential religious leaders, with millions of followers within Nigeria and across the world.

RCCG reiterated that its mission remains centered on spiritual growth, community service, and promoting values that contribute to peace and national development.

The church concluded by encouraging members to remain focused on faith, prayer, and constructive civic engagement while respecting democratic processes.
