2023 presidential race:
Pastor Adeboye says no preferred candidate.
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) pastor Enoch Adeboye, has said he has no preferred candidate for next year’s general election.
“Every political party is heavily represented.
If I vote for anyone, I would be unjust to the rest of my children; I am the father of all and I like it that way.
He added that he will support whoever God says.
“…my assignment has nothing to do with partisan politics, do not distract my attention.
You will bear me out… I have never told you, this is the fellow you should vote for… I have never said this is the party you should belong to; I have never said it and will never say it,”
Pastor Adeboye also said Nigerians who refuse to vote in an election have no right to complain about the government.
“You were Nigerian before you became a Christian. As a Nigerian, you have a duty to register, to vote and make sure your vote will count. You have a duty to belong to any party of your choice; you can’t refuse to vote and then complain about the government,” the cleric said.
He said he has no care for the political party people belong to or vote for as long as they do their duty – vote in the upcoming 2023 elections.
