Why Pastor Adeboye stepped down as head of RCCG Nigeria

Pastor Enoch Adeboye’s son has given
more insight into why his father has
retired as the general overseer of the
church.
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 the statement, this is in line
with the regulation that heads of churches,
mosques and non-profit organizations
have a maximum period of 20 years to
lead….

“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.

Before his appointment, Obayemi was the
former special assistant to the general
overseer on finance.
Adeboye, 74, was appointed general
overseer of the church in 1991, taking over
from Papa Akindayomi, who had died the
previous year.
