DJ Switch kicks as Pastor Adeboye prays for Nigeria

One of the leading agitators during the #ENDSARS protests, DJ Switch, has challenged the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor EA Adeboye, over the way he prays for Nigeria.

Adeboye again prayed for the country as it marks its 63rd Independence anniversary.

In a tweet, DJ Switch wondered why Adeboye does not allegedly challenge bad rulers instead of praying.

She argued: She tweeted: “Pastor Adeboye constantly urging Nigerians to pray for Nigeria… but rarely calls out the cause of Nigeria’s woes! Rarely calls them out for a failure to serve. The Jesus you worship served and called out corruption point blank! Some of una go say touch not my anointed! Anointing wey no dey anoint.”

DJ Switch’s post followed a few hours after the 81-year-old cleric on the occasion of Nigeria’s Independence on Sunday, October 1, passionately prayed for the country that God would heal the nation and give her a new beginning.

During his ministration on “Freedom Indeed” on Sunday, October 1, at the RCCG Headquarters, the Throne of Grace, Ebute-meta, he prayed for the nation, political leaders, leaders of different parastatals, judiciary, government functionaries, prisoners and captives (both physical and spiritual) with their families, admonished Nigerians to seek for true and total freedom.

He asserted that since man is composed of a spirit, a soul, and a body and that he is a spirit or a soul residing in a body, according to the scriptures, he is a tripartite entity who can be subjugated in any of his three parts.

Followers of Adeboye’s calling will, however, note that he has sometimes called out rulers on bad policies and programmes.

He, for instance, did this during the destabilising naira devaluation orchestrated by the Godwin Emefiele-led Central Bank of Nigeria.
