In 2023, RCCG May Have Create Special Department To Support Osinbajo

Evidence suggests the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has established a special unit within the church to encourage and support those considering or already involved in politics.

An alleged memo circulating on social media platforms announced the church’s creation of a ‘Office of Directorate of Politics and Governance’.

It is addressed to all pastors in charge of regions and provinces and dated 28th February 2022.

Pastor Timothy Olaniyan will head the new directorate, according to the office.

It stated that the Directorate’s goal is to support RCCG church members who want to enter politics or leadership roles.

“The Directorate’s essence is to help coordinate the engagement of our people who are willing to participate in politics,” the letter states.

“To help mobilize support for them when required,” it adds.

The letter also ordered every RCCG zone, area, and parish to appoint a leader to run the new office at their respective levels.

If the contents of the memo are to be believed, the church may be preparing to support Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, who has been taunted to run for President in 2023.
