RCCG replies, "we didnt endorse any candidate, we are not a political party"

olutee:
Apparently reacting to rumours making round that the general overseer of the church, Pastor Enoch Adeboye gave his blessings to the vice-presidential ambition of Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, the RCCG dissociated itself from the report.

Osinbajo, a former Lagos State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, who is said to be Adeboye’s close ally had been chosen as the running mate of APC presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) on Wednesday, December 17.

Taking to its official twitter handle, the RCCG denied celebrating the emergence of Buhari’s running mate who pastors its Olive Parish located on Banana Island, Lagos.
The church however warned Nigerians to disregard such report and be wary of fictitious social media accounts.

The church wrote on its Facebook page:

“On behalf of The Governing Council of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, we would like to inform the public that RCCG is not affiliated nor represented by @rccgworldwide. The church’s official twitter page is @rccghq. The church cherishes the right of all citizens to participate in the democratic process to vote.”
