The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has said that some close associates of President Bola Tinubu are not sincere to him about the true state of the nation.
Adeboye declared this during November Holy Ghost Service at the Redemption City camp ground in a statement he made against the backdrop of United States’ threat to wage war against Nigeria for alleged Christian genocide.
Referring to the President as his in-law and citing alleged instance of misadvice given Tinubu by the latter’s inner circle, the 83-year-old said, “I almost spoke last month when I heard the speech of my in-law (Tinubu), particularly that section that spoke about security. I heard him saying, all is well now, that displaced people have returned to their villages.
“I almost said the one who wrote that speech does not like him. Somebody wrote it, but it was the President who read it. There are several people around Tinubu who are not telling him the truth. The following day we read that a traditional ruler was killed in Kwara or Kogi.”
He went on to urge circumspection in the way the government handles the US threat, saying countries voicing supports for Nigeria would not offer help beyond rhetoric if America struck, “When I say our leaders should move diplomatically, we must take note of the fact that if America should attack us, China is not coming to defend us. Likewise Russia and Britain. All the so-called world leaders, they will talk and condemn what America has done, but they won’t help us.”
