The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi, has refuted claims credited to him that he said the General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, and the Presiding Bishop of the Living Faith World Outreach, Bishop David Oyedepo, are not true men of God.
Oba Akanbi who spoke with The Punch said the report was false, and a plot by online bloggers who twisted a statement he delivered at a lecture.
The monarch stated, “What they are saying is not true, I didn’t attack them. (Adeboye and Oyedepo). I did not say they are not men of God.
“I delivered a lecture organised by the City People Magazine and spoke about the functions of Obas in the 21st Century.
“I said Obas are the representatives of God on earth and men of God are messengers of God. That was where I think they twisted, but I never said they are not men of God.”
Dolapo is a writer and journalist who works with YNaija. He has interests in Christianity, politics and sports.
