There have been reports that the former Lagos state governor
Bola Tinubu, had allegedly decided to stop Ambode’s bid for a second term in
office by replacing him with Babajide Sanwoolu. This according to the same
report, led to an alleged phone conversation between Pastor Adeboye and Tinubu,
in which the general overseer begged Tinubu not to dump Ambode.
But in a statement issued on Pastor Adeboye’s social media
accounts, RCCG General Overseer has denied ever making the call.
“Our attention has been drawn to news making the rounds from
dailies especially the New Telegraph that Pastor E.A Adeboye, the General
Overseer of the RCCG had a recent phone conversation with the Leader of the All
Progressive Congress (APC).
“We would like to
inform the general public that this is false and Pastor E.A Adeboye has not and
would not be involved in inters/intra party politics in Nigeria and anywhere
RCCG is present across the world. Pastor E.A Adeboye advises all well-meaning
Nigerians just like him to get their PVCs and exercise their civic duty.
“God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
