God Has Already Chosen 2027 President — Adeboye
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has said that God has already determined Nigeria’s next president ahead of the 2027 general elections, stressing that the outcome is beyond human control.
Adeboye made the statement during a workers’ meeting at Redemption City along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Saturday.
He said, “The next president has already been decided by God who owns the universe. It is not something we can determine by human effort alone. The will of God will be done.”
The cleric cautioned Nigerians against anxiety over political developments, noting that God remains sovereign over the nation’s future.
“I never said we should not be involved in politics, but we must understand that God has the final say in the affairs of men,” he said.
Adeboye urged citizens to remain prayerful and peaceful as political activities intensify ahead of the 2027 elections.
“We should do our part, but we should also keep on praying and trust God. That is what is satisfying to me,” he added.
He also reacted to comments credited to activist Omoyele Sowore, who described him, Bishop David Oyedepo and Pastor William Kumuyi as “fathers of Christians in Nigeria.”
Adeboye dismissed the description, saying he does not consider himself a father of all Christians in the country.
“Sowore said that we are not the fathers of Christians but we are denominational fathers. He is very correct. I don’t want to be father of all Christians in Nigeria. I’m satisfied with being the father of the Redeemed Christian Churh of God. That’s enough assignment for me.
“I have never wanted to be the father of all Christians in Nigeria. The CAN President is the father leader of Christians in Nigeria.”
He stressed that leadership of the Christian community in Nigeria rests with the Christian Association of Nigeria, whose president represents Christians nationally.
Adeboye also addressed claims on social media alleging that the RCCG is an extension of the ruling All Progressives Congress, rejecting the allegation.
He added that the church has consistently spoken on national issues affecting citizens, including economic hardship.
The cleric further stated that if the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria were to call for a peaceful protest over governance issues, he would participate.
“I have protested before during the Goodluck Jonathan administration,” he said.
Adeboye also noted that politicians are welcome to attend services at the camp, but emphasised that they would not be allowed to speak or mount the altar for the purpose of campaigning.
