Mr. Adeboye said the jet is necessary for God’s work.
Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, has justified his purchase of a private jet saying it is necessary for his work.
Mr. Adeboye, one of the most respected Christian leaders in Nigeria
and the head of the Redeemed Church that has millions of members across
160 countries, stated this in an interview with global news channel,
Aljazeera.
The pastor said “there are things you need,” to perform the task he does as the general overseer.
“When you have to oversee churches in 160 countries, you can’t do
that on a bicycle,” he said in response to a specific question on
whether he needed to have acquired a private jet.
Though considered unique in his simple appearance and un-flamboyant
lifestyle, Mr. Adeboye is one of the increasing numbers of Pentecostal
pastors that have acquired private jets, leading to condemnations by
some Nigerians.
The other private jet acquiring pastors include David Oyedepo, the head of the Living Faith Church Worldwide; and Ayo Oritsejafor, the current President of the Christian Association of Nigeria. Despite presiding over churches with hundreds of thousands of poor
people, they have all argued that they need the private jets for God’s
work.
HBC: I he or his office can afford it, Please free the man of God! Gbam!!!
