Pastor EA Adeboye was in an unusual mood early Saturday, October 2, 2021, when he criticised the move by some governors to bar from public places people who have yet to get COVID-19 vaccine.
Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State is particularly known for the crusade.
In an unusual satirical way, Adeboye wondered how an Obaseki wants all the people to get vaccinated when the amount of vaccines available cannot go round even 10 per cent of the population.
He said during a sermon at the ongoing Holy Ghost programme at the Redemption Camp, Mowe, Ogun State:
“The number of doses available in the country is not even enough for 10 per cent of the total population of the country, how do you then say whoever does not take the vaccine will not be able to go to the bank, church?
“it means 90 per cent of the people will not be able to access their money. We will need to go back to the olden days of keeping money, I hope you know this system.
“Well, I believe they just want to make us laugh and you know in Nigeria, we need things to make us laugh,” he further stated.
He, however, stressed that he never asked anyone not to take the vaccine.
According to him, he too will be prepared to take it, especially if doing so becomes a condition for him to spread the gospel.
Adeboye added, “If taking the vaccine will make you feel safer, you can go ahead to take,” stressing that “if there is need for me to take it, I will do.”
Pastor Adeboye explained that he will take the vaccine if is a requirement to travel to a country he intends to go for the gospel.
“I can do anything to do the work of God, including taking the vaccine to allow me to enter a country just to preach the gospel,” the leader of the church said.
