Human rights lawyer Inibehe Effiong has called for Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), to retire following his recent controversial remarks. Effiong criticized Adeboye’s claim that God intervened to prevent the naira’s exchange rate from rising to N10,000 to $1, describing it as absurd.
Effiong argued that prayers have no influence on the exchange rate, which is instead determined by a country’s economic policies, monetary strategies, and productivity. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Effiong wrote: “Pastor Adeboye should retire and step down. His statements about the state of the nation are offensive to reasonable people. It’s important to know when to exit, and Adeboye’s continued support of this inept and oppressive government is a disservice to Christianity.”
He continued, “Many Nigerians have stopped attending church because of the hypocrisy and complicity of religious leaders like Adeboye. President Tinubu has spent billions on fuel subsidies despite his previous promises, and his government has done nothing to address the widespread corruption in the oil sector. We are not all easily deceived.”
Effiong further criticized Adeboye’s assertion that his prayers were responsible for preventing further devaluation of the naira. He emphasized that exchange rates are influenced by tangible economic factors, not prayer. “Adeboye has been praying for Nigeria and its leaders for years, yet things remain unchanged. Either his prayers are ineffective, or God is not answering him,” Effiong said.
He concluded by pointing out that some of the most corrupt politicians in Nigeria are followers of Adeboye. “He needs to take a good look at himself in the mirror,” Effiong added.
