I Consulted Pastor Adeboye Before Accepting To Be Buhari’s Running Mate- Osinbajo Opens Up

APC’s Muhammadu Buhari’s running mate, Yemi Osinbajo who
also doubles as a pastor in the Redeemed Christian Church Of
God , has said he consulted the General Overseer of the church,
Pastor E.A Adeboye, before embarking on this journey, Mr
Osinbajo who spoke to Kayode Falade said.
The Redeemed Christian Church of God, where you are a
pastor, has come out to say it never endorsed you…
I don’t think the church has ever said any such thing. Also, the
church does not endorse candidates. The General Overseer of the
church, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has not said any such thing.
He has not issued any statement. In any event, the RCCG as a
church cannot endorse a candidate. How can a church endorse
a candidate ?
But did you seek Pastor Adeboye’s consent before accepting the
nomination?
I serve under the GO of the RCCG as a pastor. If I am going to take
any kind of action, especially an action that involves public service,
it is my duty to consult with him. It would be absolutely
irresponsible of me not to consult with him. And I have consulted
with him.
I have consulted with Adeboye fully. I am not prepared to share
with you the details of our discussion.
But be absolutely certain that I would not take these steps without
properly consulting with him and that I did what was needful.
