The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has said that God has not told him if there will be general elections in 2023 yet. He recalled that God spoke to him before the 2019 general elections and that there is every possibility that God can still speak to him concerning the forthcoming elections. He made this statement during the Thanksgiving Service of the church.
The 80-year-old cleric noted that he is not interested in politics and that he is more concerned about the attack in Kaduna State, oil theft, the dilapidating state of the economy and other pressing issues.
He said his clarification was necessary due to the comments that have trailed the decision of the church to encourage its members to be actively involved in politics following the creation of a Politics Directorate in the church.
Adeboye said, “Listen to me carefully and if you are going to quote me, quote me correctly. I am talking to those of you who are my children. Do you want to know the truth? And nothing but the truth? I am talking of myself now.
“As of now, as I am standing before you, I still don’t know whether or not there would be an election next year. Don’t say that Pastor Adeboye said there would be no election next year; that’s not what I said. Adeboye does not know yet, put the word ‘yet’.
“How come you don’t know? Because my father has not talked to me about it yet. The last time we had an election, He (God) spoke to me about the election by June of the previous year and this is April. So, it is not late but He hasn’t told me yet.”
"He (God) must have told you – some of you who are prophets, you are closer to Him (God) but is there anyone of you here who can raise your hand to heaven and say without any doubt, there will be an election in 2023. If you can tell us, stand up and we will clap for a prophet. I don’t know yet. Remember to put the word ‘yet’,” he emphasised.
