Human Rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong has called on Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of Redeem Christian Church of God, RCCG, to bow out and stop making mockery of Christianity.
This is even as he alleged that some of the most corrupt and evil politicians in our country today are Pastor Adeboye’s disciples.
The legal practitioner was reacting to a video of Pastor Adeboye, which has gone viral on social media, where the cleric said if not for his prayers, Naira would have depreciated to N10,000 to $1
In the video, Adeboye said, the current government are not responsible for the economic downturn of the country, rather, President Tinubu is making frantic efforts to get Nigerians out of the situation.
Reacting, Lawyer Inibehe Effiong called on Adeboye to retire, noting that most of Adeboye ‘s present utterances is nothing but a mockery of the body of Christ.
“Pastor Enoch Adeboye should retire and go home. His controversial statements on the state of the nation offends the sensibilities of right thinking members of the society,” Effiong posted on X.
According to him, “In life, it is always better to know when to exit the stage. The fact that Adeboye is holding brief for this incompetent and oppressive government is a mockery of Christianity.
“Many people in our country have stopped going to Church due to the sickening hypocrisy and connivance of these religious leaders.
He said, “Tinubu has paid billions in fuel subsidy, contrary to his (Adeboye’s) public statements.
“Tinubu’s government has not addressed the rot and corruption in the oil sector. We are not all naive and gullible.
“It is preposterous for Adeboye to say that it is his prayers that has made the Naira not to depreciate further. Prayers do not have any effect on the exchange rate. Exchange rate is determined by economic and monetary policies, and the productivity of a country.
“Adeboye has been praying for decades for Nigeria and Nigerian politicians and things haven’t improved. It is either his prayers are not working or God is not listening to him.
“Some of the most corrupt and evil politicians and political leaders in our country today are disciples and followers of Pastor Adeboye.
“He should look himself in the mirror.
