The General Overseer, Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch
Adeboye, on Friday has said he does not trust politicians.
Adeboye spoke in Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, during a two-day
interdenominational prayer.
According to the cleric, politicians in most cases hardly fulfil their
promises.
Adeboye illustrated his claim with the story of three travellers – an
Indian, a Jew and a politician.
He said while the three men were travelling, they had a problem and went
to a farmer for help, but the farmer said he could only accommodate two people.
Adeboye said the Indian volunteered to sleep in the barn, but returned
few minute later that there was a cow there.
The Indian, according to the illustration, said he couldn’t sleep in the
barn because cows were gods worshipped in his country.
The Jew also came back complaining that pig was inside the barn and that
the place was dirty.
The politician also volunteered to sleep there, but instead of the
politician to come back to complain, Adeboye said it was the pig and cow that
came knocking that the politician should be sent away because he promised to
make the environment, including the barn conducive with air-conditioner.
The cleric said, “I don’t trust politicians. Politicians are liars. They
don’t fulfil most of their promises. A politician can tell you that they will
give all of you (students) chicken each, which we all know it is impossible.”
The RCCG General Overseer, however, asked Nigerians to stop worrying
themselves over who would emerge winner in the next general elections.
According to him, God is a master planner who has already planned the
leadership development of Nigeria.
Adeboye said, “God has already planned who will be the President of
Nigeria. God has already planned that before we were born. God is not like
human beings who doubt what is to be done. He has plan for everything.”
Vice-Chancellor of OAU, Prof. Bamitale Omole, hailed the cleric for his
yearly presence in the university, saying the initiative was having positive
impacts on the school.
He said, “We appreciate the love of Pastor Adeboye. With God and his
presence last year, we had no calamities and also emerged as the best
university in Nigeria. I urge students to be prayerful and cautious of what
they do as God will continue to protect us.”
