The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has said the decision of its General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye to appoint a National Overseer for Nigeria was irreversible.

The church’s Head of Media and Public Relations, Pastor Segun Adegbiji, said this while addressing journalists at Redemption Camp, Mowe, Ogun State, on Thursday.

Adegbiji said the suspension of the Corporate Governance Code by the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria would not affect the decision.

He said there were already plans in place to appoint a Nigerian leader before the law.

He said, “If you know Daddy GO (Adeboye) very well, he does not make such an important decision without consulting the Church Council, and most importantly, God. That decision has been made and it does not in any way affect his position as the General Overseer of the RCCG.

“So, there is no need to reverse the decision after the Federal Government has suspended the implementation of the FRC law.”

Recall that Adeboye had named Pastor Obayemi the Nigerian overseer of RCCG last week in compliance with the code.

His resignation as the head of the church in Nigeria was greeted by heavy criticism of the code by Nigerians.

This had forced President Muhammadu Buhari to sack the Executive Secretary of the FRC, Mr. Jim Obazee.
