2023: Osinbajo Will Tackle Corruption, Provide Free Education – RCCG Pastor

Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has said only Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has what it takes to tackle the myriad of challenges facing Nigeria.

Timothy Olaniyan, the head of the Directorate of Politics and Governance, a political department of the Church, made this known over the Weekend.

He spoke at the inaugural conference of a political movement called New Era Nigeria (NEN).

This is as the department commenced soliciting support for Osinbajo’s presidential bid.

Olaniyan said Osinbajo, being a “child of God,” remained the only aspirant capable of changing the governance narrative in Nigeria.

“As of today, Pastor Yemi Osinbajo is not just a pastor; he is still a child of God,” he said.

Olaniyan said the country deserved an honest leader.

“It is high time our eyes were opened. What we want is not those baits, we want somebody that would make a promise to our children and fulfil it,” he explained. “If you tell me education will be free, I want you to get there and make it free so that we will not continue to build up youths who have no future.”

In March, RCCG created the department to mobilise support for members of the mission seeking elective office, a move that further blurred the thin line between religious prejudices and the state in Nigeria. CONTINUE READING…
