The General Overseer of Redeemer Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye has step down as general overseer of the church. The news broke out early hours of today, that the renowned clergyman has retired from his role as general overseer of the church.
Daddy G.O has his fondly called by his church members pass the mantle of leadership to Pastor Joseph Obayemi, who is rather infamous. Though, members of the church were stunned with the decision made by the world-renowned leader.
The outgoing general overseer of the church became the GO of the church in 1991 and at age 74 (after more than two decades in the same post), he decided to step down for a ‘fresh blood’ in the frame of Pastor Joseph Obayemi, to take the mantle of leadership from him.
