Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye has retired as the General
Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).
Just last year, the church slammed those calling for the
74-year-old to retire as head of RCCG.
Pastor Johnson Odesola, Special Assistant to Pastor Adeboye
on Administration and Personnel, said at the time that the church’s
constitution did not state that anyone above 70 years should not lead the
ministry.
He said: “Whereas the constitution provided that the deputy
and assistant general overseers are appointed to retire at 70 and enjoy their
retirement benefits for life, there is no such provision for the general
overseer.”
Pastor J.O. Obayemi has been named as Adeboye’s successor.
Obayemi was a deputy in charge of Finance and a member of
governing council, before his appointment.
