‘No constitution amendment at RCCG’

Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG)

The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) is not amending its constitution to reflect any leadership changes, the church stated yesterday.

RCCG Head of Media and Public Relations, Pastor Segun Adegbiji, made the clarification following a report on Friday which suggested that there was an ongoing constitution amendment from its governing council.

He said: “Yes, we do have a constitution. The governing council has the liberty and power to amend it if it so wishes. But I didn’t say they were amending it. We are not amending the constitution on structure.”

On Thursday, the church dismissed insinuations that RCCG General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, had resigned as the General Overseer of the RCCG, following his appointment, last Saturday, of Pastor Joseph Obayemi as National Overseer of RCCG Nigeria.

Adegbiji explained that Adeboye, fondly called ‘Daddy G.O.’, remains the head of the RCCG, and Obayemi, like other National or Country Overseers around the world, reports to the G.O.

He said: “Daddy G.O. 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.”

The PRO said the appointment became necessary partly because of the RCCG’s rapid growth and expansion, adding that the plan for a national or country overseer for RCCG Nigeria began before the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) implemented its now suspended Corporate Governance Code.

FRC Executive Secretary, Mr. Jim Obazee, a former RCCG pastor, was removed by the government on Monday.

Adegbiji also stated that the RCCG Governing Council still had Adeboye as leader, and Obayemi and six other Assistant General Overseers and two special assistants as members.
