Pastor Adeboye Retires As General Overseer Of RCCG
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church Of God (RCCG), Pastor E.O Adeboye, has retired as the overseer of the RCCG church in Nigeria and has remained the overseer of RCCG worldwide.
A statement signed by Leke
Adeboye, the clergyman's last son clarified that Adeboye remains the
general overseer, Worldwide of RCCG while Obayemi will be leading the
RCCG Nigeria.
According to him, the development
was in line with the new legal requirements set up by the Financial
Regulations Council, guiding all registered churches, mosques, and CSOs.
The
regulation stipulates that heads of non-profit organisations like
churches now have a maximum period of twenty years to lead their
organizations while in retirement, they are not permitted to hand over
to their families, the statement read.
Pastor J.O Obayemi is the new Nigeria overseer and was appointed at the Annual Ministers Thanksgiving at Shimawa, Ogun State.
Recall that last year, the church said
those calling for his retirement because of his age were ignorant of the
church’s doctrine.
