Sources have disclosed that the controversy surrounding the alleged plan to take over the Redeemed Christian Church of God RCCG, City of David in Lagos by the General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, and hand it over to his son has continued to brew seriously underground within the founding members and leadership of the Church.
It will be recalled that the alleged issue to axe the Senior Pastor, City of David, Pastor Idowu Iluyomade and Wife Dr Siju Iluyomade over the latter 60th birthday celebration after the demise of top member Herbert Wigwe has evolved over divergent opinions on whether the birthday was appropriate or other otherwise.
However, sources close to Pastor Adeboye had revealed that Pastor Adeboye had prevailed upon to jettison the idea of replacing Pastor Iluyomade and his wife this period on, just based on celebrating a Birthday.
The G.O. according to information, had wanted to rescind his earlier decision but was again misguided by some of his allies whose eyes were already on the Trinity Towers building.
The source said “We were surprised that the heat is still on, some members had again with G.O. last week with the hope that matured reasons will prevail afterward, only to hear again that Daddy G.O. is still insisting on replacing Pastor Idowu.
The Iluyomades and congregation have put in enormous strength together with the grace of the Lord to place City of David where it is today having started from scratch since 1995.
It will be inimical, and counter-productive to take such a drastic step this period if we don’t want implosion. We don’t need to follow social media court, but sit in a roundtable and iron out any issue we perceived gone wrong” the source who is also a Pastor admonished.
Also, an influential member of RCCG who we don’t want to mention his name had pointed out last week while in a meeting with some of the Church’s members, according to him “ If the church as a while had wanted to rely on or moved with regular criticisms in the social media, Daddy G.O would have been queried and even deposed by now.
The social media had written severally on him taking over RCCG from the founder to become his property, the social media had written severally that he ought to have retired, social media has continued to shout on him buying any Jets for personal and business from coffers of the Church, social media still accusing him of been political and tribalistic, that by now he should be leading a protest over a dire situation of the Country just like he did against former President Goodluck Jonathan, but they are saying it’s because he supported the Presidential election to emerged”
He warned that should the RCCG have based decisions on public opinion only the church would have suffered the consequences just the way it heading now.

The Nigerian police has finally approved the planned nationwide protests and outlined conditions for participants.
The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, revealed this on Friday while addressing journalists in Abuja.
He urged all groups planning to participate in the proposed nationwide protest to submit their details to the Commissioners of Police in their respective states.
The police boss said this was to ensure the protest was peaceful.
Egbetokun said, “We acknowledge the constitutional right of Nigerian citizens to peaceful assembly and protest.
“However, in the interest of public safety and order, we urge all groups planning to protest to provide necessary details to the Commissioner of Police in the state where the protest is intended to take place.
“To facilitate a successful and incident-free protest, they should please provide the following information: state the proposed protest routes and assembly points; expected duration of the protest; and names and contact details of protest leaders and organisers.”
The police boss said the information expected from the organisers also include measures to prevent hijacking by criminal elements, as well as key identifiers for possible isolation of potential troublemakers.
By providing the information, he said, the police will be able to deploy adequate personnel and resources to ensure public safety.
He said the police needed to know the specific routes and areas for the protest to avoid conflicts with other events or activities.
Mr Egbetokun said the police will “establish clear communication channels with protest leaders to address any concerns or issues that may arise; minimise the risk of violence, property damage, or other criminal activity.
“We encourage all protesters to cooperate with the police, obey the law, and adhere to global best practices for peaceful assembly to guarantee a safe and successful exercise of their rights.
