Adeboye: God hasn’t told me if 2023 elections’ll hold

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, says God has not told him whether the 2023 general election will hold or not.

Adeboye said this during the RCCG’s November Holy Ghost Service held with the theme, ‘Let It Rain’, at the church’s headquarters along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Friday.

“Do you know that up till now, and this is November, up till now, Daddy (God) hasn’t told me yet that there is going to be an election next year?

“We continue of course as if there is going to be. I am saying that Adeboye, I am not talking of other people, God has not told me yet. He may tell me tomorrow; I don’t know but as of this moment, he hasn’t told me whether or not there will be an election next year.

“I am not trying to frighten you. I am not a prophet, I am just a pastor,” the revered cleric said.

Adeboye, who announced a fast and prayer for Nigeria between November 26 and December 2, 2022, said he will pray for any politician who comes to him for prayer.

He further condemned the proposed plan by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to redesign naira notes, saying the redesign of the country’s currency should not be a priority when the citizens are suffering from hunger.

“Our naira now is not even worth the paper it is printed on. And while people are hungry, trying to find enough money to buy bread to eat, our bosses are thinking of making the naira more beautiful, even if it can’t buy bread, at least, it will look beautiful. Oh Lord, have mercy.

“We have problems in the land now. Things seem to be getting funnier and funnier. If you don’t learn to laugh in Nigeria now, you will develop hypertension,” Pastor Adeboye stated.
