The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has denied reports that he protested against the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan, describing claims linking him to an anti-government demonstration as misleading.

Adeboye said a photograph circulating on social media, showing him carrying a placard during a public procession, had been wrongly presented as evidence of a protest against the former president.

Speaking during the church’s November Thanksgiving Service on Sunday, the cleric explained that the photograph was taken during a prayer walk in 2020, five years after Jonathan left office in May 2015.

He said the exercise was organised in response to a directive by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), which encouraged churches to embark on peaceful walks to draw attention to insecurity and killings across the country.

Adeboye acknowledged carrying a placard during the exercise but insisted that the procession was neither organised against Jonathan nor intended to undermine his administration.

He explained that the central message of the walk was a call for the protection of human lives, irrespective of religious affiliation, stressing that the gathering was a spiritual exercise aimed at seeking divine intervention over the country’s security challenges.
