RCCG explains directive stopping non-members from preaching

In an interview with The Punch on Monday, the RCCG head of media and public relations, Pastor Olaitan Olubiyi, said the memo was an internal document, and the recent directive wasn't really a ban but a guideline to ensure approvals were gotten before external members were invited.

Olubiyi said:

“It’s supposed to be an internal document. And it’s not a ban per se, it’s just a kind of rule or guideline. What the church is saying is that before any of our branches invite a preacher from another church or another ministry, clearance should be sought.”

He added that the directive was in line with the church's beliefs and doctrines.
