In Politics there is no permanent friend or enemies. That’s exactly what happened at the pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye led The Redeemed Christian Church of God when President Goodluck Jonathan payed them a courtesy visit during the monthly Holy Ghost service on Friday, February 7, 2015 at the Redemption Camp.
Insiders revealed to us that to avert a clash, immediately the president arrived, daddy G.O took him and his opponents, Prof. Osibajo and GMB to his office for a closed door meeting which took over an hour before they reached a consensus. Although the topic of discussion was not divulged but we learnt it bothers on the 2015 election and the need to be cautious in their speeches at the Holy Ghost service stressing it’s not a forum for political discussion.
We learnt that as the gladiators came out from the inner chamber, President Jonathan was given sometime to speak. When he was called up, most people didn’t give him a standing ovation. Getting to the pulpit, he said all he had to but when he spoke about his presence in the camp, people gave him a piece of their mind.
“I have not come here to campaign but to worship” President Jonathan said.
As he said this, people shouted “na lie!” and started laughing! The General Overseer rescued him by coming up to the pulpit. Our source revealed that like before, Pastor Adeboye prayed for him but this time it was not for electoral victory but for national peace.
Pastor Adeboye asked his congregation to use President Goodluck as a point of contact for Nigeria, he asked them to pray for peace in Nigeria before and after the election. He also asked them to pray that the will of God be done.
Finally, Daddy G. O called out all the politicians present in church contesting at different levels and prayed for them, Osibajo included. He prayed the same prayer point he prayed for President Jonathan.
From Daddy G.O’s body language, one could say he is pitching his tent with Osibajo. Last election, he gave President Jonathan his maximum support, this time, he is not but doesn’t want to embarrass the president.
