You Continue to Embarrass RCCG: Outrage as Pastor Adeboye’s Son, Leke Calls Erring Pastors 'Goats'
- Mixed reactions have trailed the position of Pastor Asdeboye's son, Leke Adeboye regarding his father's recent sermon
- According to Nigerians, Leke is wrong and disrespectful to have called out RCCG pastors for preaching after his father had given the sermon of the day
- Meanwhile, it is a norm in the church for all pastors to connect to the RCCG's national headquarters on the first Sunday of every month to watch and listened to the general overseer, give the sermon for the day which would be the only sermon across all branches
Nigerians have expressed concern over the comments made by Leke Adeboye, the last son of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, who on Sunday, April 3, slammed some RCCG pastors for preaching after his father had given the sermon of the day.
As it is a norm in RCCG, Daddy G.O’s sermon is expected to be the only sermon for that Sunday as all pastors were expected to connect to the National Headquarters where the General Overseer would deliver his.
Vanguard reports that Leke who was not pleased to hear that some pastors went ahead to preach to their congregations after his father’s sermon frowned at such pastors, describing them as goats.

“Why would you go and preach another sermon after Daddy GO had just finished speaking and preaching? You are not a son, you are a goat sir. Next Thanksgiving service, just do altar call, then Thanksgiving."
Reactions
Reacting to Leke’s post, a follower on Instagram and member of RCCG @rosedek2021 commented
“Maybe you will push RCCG members to do the unthinkable, strike. Your name-calling of pastors and other antecedents show that you are naturally arrogant, since your father isn’t you are the goat. You do not deserve the office you hold. I’m looking forward to your resignation. You continue to embarrass your parents and RCCG, for how long will people do damage control on your behalf. I’m a member of RCCG and if others wouldn’t tell you some of us would, we’re fed up of you.”
Meanwhile, Nigerians took to the official Facebook page of Legit.ng and also reacted to the development.
For some he should be queried, for others, he should be suspended considering his position in the RCCG.

2023: Osinbajo or Tinubu? Pastor Adeboye finally speaks on preferred presidential candidate
Pastor Enoch Adeboye had said he would not endorse any presidential candidate in the general elections coming up in 2023.
The RCCG general overseer on Sunday, April 3, said all presidential candidates are like his “children".
The 80-year-old also said he has no care for the political party people belong to or vote for as long as they do their duty.
Adeboye speaks up again on 2023 elections
Legit.ng previously reported that Pastor Adeboye disclosed that he is yet to hear from God about the 2023 elections.
The cleric was said to have told his congregants that he does not know whether there will be an election in 2023 yet.
The man of God said the case was different during the last elections. According to him, God spoke to him more than a year before the 2019 elections but that of 2023 seems to be different.
