INSECURITY CHAOS: Pastor Ibiyeomie Unleashes Fury On Critics, Demands To Know If They Ever Spoke Up When It Mattered!.

Published

on

The General Overseer of Salvation Ministries, David Ibiyeomie, recently challenged those criticizing religious leaders for their perceived silence regarding Nigeria’s security challenges. During a sermon, Ibiyeomie argued that the contributions of religious figures are often ignored. He pointedly questioned why critics who were vocal during the Goodluck Jonathan administration have remained quiet regarding current events, noting, “The time we talked, una talk? We’ve been shouting since”.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

In a separate development, the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has issued a statement clarifying the position of its General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye. The church emphasized that Pastor Adeboye has not endorsed any political party or candidate, consistently urging members instead to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and vote according to their individual consciences.

The RCCG statement also addressed several other points:

  • Political Neutrality: The church noted that its members are diverse in their political affiliations and are encouraged to exercise their democratic rights responsibly, rather than adhering to partisan loyalty.

  • Protest Claims: The church dismissed reports that Pastor Adeboye cancelled a planned protest as false, clarifying that the change was actually an adjustment to a prayer program based on a directive from the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN).

  • Addressing National Concerns: The RCCG rejected the notion that Pastor Adeboye is silent on national issues, asserting that he frequently speaks on insecurity, governance, and corruption through prayer and moral counsel rather than through political confrontation.

Finally, the RCCG urged the public to rely exclusively on official communication channels for accurate information. The church called upon media outlets and content creators to prioritize fact-checking, stating, “Verify before you believe. Fact-check before you publish. Truth matters”.
