The head of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has said that while the country continues to increase measures to stamp out coronavirus, people must not go hungry.
The RCCG pastor said that whatever measures are put in place, Nigeria would overcome, The Nation reports.
Adeboye made this known through the resident pastor at RCCG, region 12, Sagamu, Julius Olalekan, while he was making donations on behalf of Adeboye in Ogun communities.
Items donated ranged from cartons of noodles, bags of rice, and other food items that have run into millions of naira.
The pastor said that their gesture was according to the religious doctrine in Second Kings chapter 7 where the city of Samaria was on lockdown, saying like them, Nigerians would come out of the situation.
"Our Father-in-the Lord and General Overseer of RCCG, Daddy Adeboye has directed that it doesn’t matter what is happening, the people must be fed, we must not allow our people to go hungry due to the lockdown order to combat Covid-19," he said.
