Pastor Johnson Odesola, Special Assistant to Pastor Adeboye on Administration and Personnel, said that the church’s constitution did not state that anyone above 70 years should not lead the ministry.
He said: “Whereas the constitution provided that the deputy and assistant general overseers are appointed to retire at 70 and enjoy their retirement benefits for life, there is no such provision for the general overseer.”
Pastor J.O. Obayemi has been named as Adeboye’s successor.
Obayemi was a deputy in charge of Finance and a member of governing council, before his appointment.
According to an appreciated reader
Clarification.!!!
Daddy has appointed Pastor Obayemi as overseer of RCCG Nigeria 🇳🇬 while Daddy G. O remains the General Overseer "worldwide". This is based on the law that was just passed by the National Assembly of Nigeria 🇳🇬. Daddy just obeyed the law of the nation which says any General Overseer cannot stay over 20years.
WHAT HAS THE GOVERNMENT POLICY ON LEADERSHIP ROTATION/TENURESHIP GOT TO DO WITH GOD'S CHOICE FOR HIS FOLD.
The government of the day came up with a policy that all G.O's should now be using specified number of years. Hence, Pastor Kumuyi, Oyedepo and Adeboye have used more than the number of years specified. The question here is what concerns govt. with spiritual organization. God chose for us. It is not an elective post. Pastor Adeboye has now relinquished the headship of Nigeria RCCG but remains the head of the church in other countries of the world. Our Nigeria G.O is now Pastor Obayemi the former Regional Pastor of RCCG Region 2 Lagos.
Pastor E.A Adeboye remains General Overseer, RCCG Worldwide.
It is no longer news that at the RCCG Annual Ministers Thanksgiving this morning, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, announced his retirement as the Overseer of RCCG in Nigeria.
This is sequel to the new legal requirements set up by the Financial Regulations Council, guiding all registered churches, mosques, CSOs. They now have a maximum period of twenty years to lead their organizations. In retirement, they are not permitted to hand over to their families.
RCCG NIGERIA is now to be headed by Pastor Joseph Obayemi, as Pastor Funsho Odesola will serve as the new Church Secretary while Pastor Joseph Adeyokunu, is the new Church Treasurer.
We would like to inform all members of RCCG to understand this new structure and go about their service to God and humanity in holiness and soul winning. Let us also educate people around us and not spread inaccurate information.
Pastor E.A Adeboye remains the General Overseer of RCCG Worldwide.
Signed: RCCG Pastors Seed Family for clarification purposes. Thanks
