According to BellaNaija, Reports have been making the rounds on social media that General Overseer has resigned from his position. The church stated that he only “ceased to be Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Nigeria.” but He still remains G.O of RCCG Worldwide.

According to a statement by the clergyman’s official Facebook Page;

The need for the action is as a result to the new legal requirements set up by the Federal Government of Nigeria through its (Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria), guiding all registered churches, mosques, CSOs etc. It allows leaders of religious organization(s) to have a maximum period of twenty years to lead their organization(s). In retirement, they are not permitted to hand over to their families amongst other rules.

As announced by Pastor E. A. Adeboye, Pastor Joseph Obayemi has been appointed as the new Overseer. Pastor Obayemi until his appointment was the Special Assistant to the General Overseer in charge of Finance and also Pastor in charge of RCCG Region 2 (Shomolu, Lagos).
