Nigeria’s Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, has denied the rumour making the rounds that he has resigned as a Pastor in the Redeemed Christian Church of God.
An online Reports seen by the website yesterday but which we refused to publish indicated that the Vice President of The Federal Republic of Nigeria, Prof Yemi Osinbajo has resigned as a Pastor of the The Redeem Christian Church of God.
In a press statement made available to Elombah.com this morning titled, VP OSINBAJO CONTINUES TO SERVE AS RCCG PASTOR, dated April 20, 2016 and signed by Laolu Akande, Senior Special Assistant-Media & Publicity In the Office of the Vice President, Mr Osibanjo stated:
“Our attention has been drawn to a false publication by a certain online medium, IGBERETV, to the effect that Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, has resigned as a Pastor in the Redeemed Christian Church of God.
“The report is misleading and completely baseless. Prof. Osinbajo continues to serve as a Pastor in the RCCG, honoring the call of God on his life.
“He is in fact the Pastor-in-Charge of RCCG Lagos Province 48, a position he has held in the past three years and in which he continues to serve.
“This completely fabricated report should be ignored and disregarded in its entirety.”
The unattributed rumour making the rounds since yesterday had claimed that Osibanjo had told some of his colleagues that he could not continue as pastor because of the nature of his work and the kind of assignment his superior sends him to execute.
He purportedly “further explained that he would not want any of his actions in office to dent the image of the church and stain the reputation of the General overseer.”
“He said no politician serving in Nigeria to day has clean hands and a pure heart therefore urging true men of God to disengage themselves from politics if they truly want to make heaven.”
“I think this man has fallen in love with the devil himself, I expected him to resign as the vice president but he choose to resign as a Pastor”, the unnamed source had claimed. always buy credit card dumps their presence guarantees success
