Adeboye Respects Traditional Rulers, Didn’t Seat On Monarch’s Chair – RCCG

Claims that Pastor Enoch Adeboye sat on a monarch’s throne during a recent event in Oyo State, have been faulted by the Redeemed Christian Church of God.

RCCG, in a statement on Monday, noted that the chair its General Overseer sat on during the event was new and not the monarch’s seat as being insinuated.

A viral photo on social media showing Adeboye sitting on a royal chair has generated reactions, with some people condemning the monarch for allowing it.

Osun Defender reports that the Olugbon of Orile-Igbon in Oyo State, Oba Francis Alao, who hosted Adeboye had also clarified that the chair the pastor sat on was one of the royal chairs used by high-ranking dignitaries and not the one for his throne.

The RCCG in the statement, explained that the chair used by Adeboye at the event had never been used by any individual.

The statement added that Adeboye respects and honours the traditional chiefs & traditional rulers and would not do anything at all to demean them.

The statement read, “It has been brought to our attention that Pastor EA Adeboye supposedly asked a King to vacate his throne so he could sit on it. This is false!

“The seat on the altar was brand new. No other King or individual had sat on the seat before.

“Pastor EA Adeboye was going to minister from the altar and there was a chair which was the only chair prepared for him which was already placed there.

“At no point during his time at the ministration did he ask any of the Kings to vacate their throne for him to sit on. The seat on the altar was brand new. No other King or individual had sat on the seat before!

“Pastor EA Adeboye truly respects and honours the traditional chiefs & traditional rulers in our nation. He honours them, holds them in high regard and would not do anything at all to demean them.

“Pastor EA Adeboye appeals to all those who are fabricating and spreading various false comments. Pastor Adeboye does not consider himself ‘God’! He did not and would never displace any person from his throne for him to sit down.”
