A call has been made for the sack of the Head of Politics and Governance of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Timothy Olaniyan.
A Youth Pastor with the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Dr. Oche Otorkpa made the call over a comment Olaniyan made about the Vice-president, Yemi Osinbajo.
The pastor had, in the said statement, claimed that only Osinbajo can change the narrative of governance in Nigeria.
However, condemning what is clearly a one-sided partisan stance by pastor Olaniyan, the youth pastor, alongside others, called for his sack.
In a statement to newsmen, pastor Otorkpa said the RCCG is a congregation of all parties and as such, cannot support a single party.
The statement reads thus: I was saddened when my attention was drawn to the statement credited to the Head of Politics and Governance of the Redeemed Christian Church, RCCG, “Pastor” Timothy Olaniyan.
This act reminds me of the tragedy promoted by many of my colleagues in the Redeemed Christian Church of God, who used the RCCG altar to promote Buhari as the only savior of Nigeria because Osinbajo also a Redeemed Pastor, was his running mate.Against all admonition by our father the General Overseer, these “Goats” as Pastor Leke Adeboye call them choose to ignore an express order and promoted Buhari /Osinbajo using the RCCG pulpit in 2015 and the results are what we see today.While I have nothing personal against Osinbajo and those campaigning for him, our father, the General Overseer has made it clear to everyone that the church is a congregation of all parties and all are his children.If truly the said “Pastor” Timothy Olaniyan voiced such a one-sided opinion, then he should be ashamed of himself, and the many people who insulted Leke for calling such people goats should apologize to him because this man’s action has not only ridiculed the mission but also the reputation of our father in the Lord.
