A former pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Bankole Solomon has taken on the General Overseer (GO) of the church, Pastor E A Adeboye for allegedly turning the yearly Holy Ghost Congress into a political congress.First we have pastorpreneurs, now its pastorliticians.
The former pastor said in a post that the yearly
spiritual programme, which attracts millions of visitors to the Redemption camp
venue of the congress located along the Lagos/Ibadan Expressway, is gradually
becoming a place where politician come to deceive worshippers with 'fake'
promises. Pastors are fast metamorphosing into pastorliticians, what do you expect?
Bankole, who claimed to have resigned as a pastor of RCCG
in 2010 due to some rights discriminat.ion, stated in his post that it was wrong
for President Jonathan to have stood on the 'once sacred altar' to speak to the
congregation when he knew he was not being truthful with what he was promising
Nigerians.
Bankole's full post reads
"I know this post will attract a sharp condemnation
because I worship in RCCG and I was once a pastor before I resigned voluntarily
because of rights violations in the name of religion. I resigned in December
2010 but I am still worshipping there as an ordinary member. So, whatever. I
have here is without prejudice.
"Holy ghost congress of our great church is now a
political congress where all shades of corrupt leaders will mount our altar to
fool Nigerians on what they will do. Pastorliticians dont care how corrupt a politician is provided he brings handsome offerings and tithes.
"Holy Ghost congress is now a supermarket where all
kinds of people like charlatans and political opportunist come shopping turning
God to father Christmas to give dem end of d year bonus.
"Jonathan was even there turning our once sacred
altar to political podium talking deceitfully and indirectly campaigning for
2015. My question is this? On what ground was president Jonathan allowed to
speak to people. Is he a pastor? Because the gathering is purely a spiritual
gathering and event.
"I've been a pastor in Redeemed for the past 10
years and I've not got any opportunity to sit on that altar not to talk of
holding mic. Its because Jonathan is a President and he is recognised, it means
some are more equal than others.
Yes some are more equal than others in reality of eyes of men, dont forget that. Pastropreneurs and pastorliticians directly or indirectly preach this.
"Immediately I left camp on Saturday morning, I
looked at the camp very well because I know that would be the last time I will
set my foot to that Eagle Square called Redeemed camp."
