However, a statement signed by Leke Adeboye, the clergyman’s last son clarified that Adeboye remains the general overseer, Worldwide of RCCG while Obayemi will be leading the RCCG Nigeria.

According to him, the development was in line with the new legal requirements set up by the Financial Regulations Council, guiding all registered churches, mosques, and CSOs.

The regulation stipulates that heads of non profit organisations like churches now have a maximum period of twenty years to lead their organizations while in retirement, they are not permitted to hand over to their families,” the statement read.

Here is also the letter written by Pastor Adeboye to inform the new appointees of their new roles in the ministry.

Before his appointment, Obayemi was the former special assistant to the general overseer on finance.

Pastor Johnson Odesola, who was the special assistant on administration and personnel, was also appointed as the church
secretary.

Recall that last year, the church said those calling for his retirement because of his age were ignorant of the church’s doctrine.

Adeboye, 74, was appointed general overseer of the church in 1991, taking over from Papa Akindayomi, who had died the previous year.
