APC’s vice presidential candidate and general Muhammadu Buhari's running mate, Yemi Osinbajo who is also a pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church Of God, in Banana Island Lagos, has revealed that he consulted with the General Overseer of the church, Pastor E.A Adeboye, before accepting to be Buhari's running mate! See excerpts if the interview Pastor Osinbajo had with journalist Kayode Falade....
The Redeemed Christian Church of God, where you are a pastor, has come out to say it never endorsed you…
I don’t think the church has ever said any such thing. Also, the church does not endorse candidates. The General Overseer of the church, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has not said any such thing. He has not issued any statement. In any event, the RCCG as a church cannot endorse a candidate. How can a church endorse a candidate?
But did you seek Pastor Adeboye’s consent before accepting the nomination?
I serve under the GO of the RCCG as a pastor. If I am going to take any kind of action, especially an action that involves public service, it is my duty to consult with him. It would be absolutely irresponsible of me not to consult with him. And I have consulted with him.
Did he give you his consent?
I have consulted with Adeboye fully. I am not prepared to share with you the details of our discussion. But be absolutely certain that I would not take these steps without properly consulting with him and that I did what was needful.
