The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has dismissed reports that he carried a placard in protest against former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Adeboye explained that the viral photograph of him carrying a placard was taken during a prayer walk and not a protest against Jonathan.
Addressing his followers in a viral video, the clergyman also recalled how he was called a wicked man by his critics.
He said: “They wrote in the papers that Adeboye is a very wicked man. After all, we know that not too long ago he carried a placard against President Goodluck Jonathan and everybody said yes.
“They brought out the picture of where I was dressed in white and green while carrying a placard, and everybody said see him.
“When I heard about it I said me carried a placard against Jonathan? Sure I carried a placard and I can’t deny that, it wasn’t a protest, it was a prayer walk.
“We wanted to pray and the CAN chairman said all churches should do a prayer walk near their churches and that’s what I did in Ebute Metta, a walk is a walk, whether prayer walk or not.
“Have you ever heard of somebody carrying a placard on a walk? I did it because the CAN president said do so.
“I remembered when I was in Nsukka in the 1960s, in those days, if you are a student of any subject at Nsukka, you are free to go any faculty and take a course or two, just for enlargement of your knowledge.
“But I carried a placard in 2020, Jonathan ceased to be president in 2015, I carried a placard five years in the second term of Buhari but it was twisted that I did what I did in 2015 and everybody swallowed it.”
