General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor EA Adeboye, has painted a grim picture of the stature of the naira while mocking the Central Bank’s decision to redesign it.
Speaking during the RCCG 2022 Holy Ghost Service, Adeboye wondered why the authorities, which he mockingly referred to ‘our Moses’ are dissipating energy on redesigning when the naira has lost all its value.
He said, “We need to ask God for mercy because what’s going on in our country, it doesn’t even make sense anymore.
“Our Naira now is not even worth the paper it is printed on. While people are hungry, trying to find enough money to buy bread to eat our Moses are thinking of making the Naira more beautiful that is, even if it can’t buy bread, at least it will look beautiful.

“God must be merciful unto us. We will have to hold on to Him and say, ‘Please help.’ Do you know that up till now and this is November, Daddy hasn’t told me yet that there’s going to be an election next year.
“We continue of course as if there’s going to be; I am saying that, Adeboye, I am not talking of other people, God has not told me yet. He may tell me tomorrow, I don’t know; but as of this moment that I am sitting before you, He hasn’t told me whether or not there will be an election next year.
“Of course, as usual, anybody who comes to me and he says, “pray for me,” I will pray for them. That’s my duty but it is up to God to answer. I am not trying to frighten you; I am not telling you that I know something secret that you don’t know; I am not a prophet I am just a pastor; but I am your Pastor. We need to pray. So I expect to see all of you on Friday the 2nd of December; come ready to pray.’’
