Human rights lawyer, Effiong Inibehe, has advised the General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, to withdraw from defending the government of President Bola Tinubu.

Effiong Inibehe said this while reacting to Pastor Adeboye’s statement that God’s intervention through his prayers saved naira from falling to ?10,000 per US dollar.

Adeboye also praised President Tinubu for removing fuel subsidy which he said was the root of the country’s financial problem.

In his reaction to the RCCG Pastor’s words, Inibehe advised him to “retire and go home“.

He accused Adeboye of deceiving Nigerians by stating the government stopped paying for subsidy.

“Pastor Enoch Adeboye should retire and go home. His controversial statements on the state of the nation offends the sensibilities of right thinking members of the society.

“In life, it is always better to know when to exit the stage. The fact that Adeboye is holding brief for this incompetent and oppressive government is a mockery of Christianity.

“Many people in our country have stopped going to Church due to the sickening hypocrisy and connivance of these religious leaders,” he said.

Inibehe continued, “Tinubu has paid billions in fuel subsidy, contrary to his public statements.

“Tinubu’s government has not addressed the rot and corruption in the oil sector. We are not all naive and gullible.

“It is preposterous for Adeboye to say that it is his prayers that has made the Naira not to depreciate further. Prayers do not have any effect on the exchange rate. Exchange rate is determined by economic and monetary policies, and the productivity of a country.

“Adeboye has been praying for decades for Nigeria and Nigerian politicians and things haven’t improved. It is either his prayers are not working or God is not listening to him.

“Some of the most corrupt and evil politicians and political leaders in our country today are disciples and followers of Pastor Adeboye.“
