Former RCCG pastor berates Adeboye for welcoming politicians in to their annual Holy Ghost congress

A former pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG),
Bankole Solomon, has criticized the General Overseer of the church,
Pastor E A Adeboye, for allowing politicians i.e President Jonathan,
into their annual RCCG Holy Ghost congress and turning it into a
political congress.


According to a statement released by Bankole who said he left the
church as pastor in 2010 but still worships there, the church
programme has now turned to a'supermarket where charlatans and
political opportunists come shopping. He questioned why President
Jonathan should be allowed to stand on their 'Once sacred alter' and
speak deceitfully and indirectly campaign for 2015 during a spiritual
gathering

"I know this post will attract a sharp condemnation because I worship
in RCCG and I was once a pastor before I resigned voluntarily because
of rights violations in the name of religion. I resigned in December
2010 but I am still worshiping there as an ordinary member. So,
whatever I have here is without prejudice.


"Holy ghost congress of our great church is now a political congress
where all shades of corrupt leaders will mount our altar to fool
Nigerians on what they will do.


"Holy Ghost congress is now a supermarket where all kinds of people
like charlatans and political opportunist come shopping turning God to
father Christmas to give them end of the year bonus.
"Jonathan was even there turning our once sacred altar to political
podium talking deceitfully and indirectly campaigning for 2015.

My question is this? On what ground was president Jonathan allowed to
speak to people. Is he a pastor? Because the gathering is purely a
spiritual gathering and event.


"I've been a pastor in Redeemed for the past 10 years and I've not got
any opportunity to sit on dat altar not to talk of holding mic. If
because Jonathan is a President and he is recognized, it means some
are more equal than others.


"Immediately I left camp on Saturday morning, I looked at the camp
very well because I know that would be the last time I will set my
foot to that Eagle Square called Redeemed camp."
