Nigeria moving steadily towards bankruptcy, says Adeboye

General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adebayo, has expressed fears that the country is moving steadily towards bankruptcy.

Pastor Adeboye disclosed this among other things during his sermon on Sunday at the Holy Ghost thanksgiving service.

According to the respected cleric, more than 90 percent of Nigeria’s income is used to service debt, noting that the country is still borrowing more money.

“Meaning, according to a friend of mine, we are moving steadily to bankrupt a whole nation. My beloved Nigeria is moving steadily towards bankruptcy. ”

Adeboye who also reacted to recent cases of attacks and killings in Kaduna State, said the country is no longer safe for Nigerians.

“You cannot travel by road, you might be kidnapped and attacked. You cannot travel by train, you can be attacked. Nowhere is safe. Today, it is Kaduna, who knows where next?

“So I laugh when people start talking about the 2023 elections because even me I don’t know yet if there’ll be an election.

“During the last (2019) election, I knew there would be an election in August (2018) the previous year because he (God) had told me about it.

Although the respected cleric urged Nigerians to register and vote in the 2023 elections, he said he was not sure if the election will hold.

“As a Nigerian, you have a duty to register, to vote and make sure your vote will count. You have a duty to belong to any party of your choice; you can’t refuse to vote and then complain about the government,” he said.

According to him, God has not spoken to him about the elections unlike in 2019 when God revealed things to him before the elections.

“As of now, as I am standing before you, I still don’t know whether or not there will be an election next year. Don’t say that Pastor Adeboye said there would be no election next year; that’s not what I said. Adeboye does not know yet, put the word ‘yet’.”

Pastor Adeboye also disassociated himself from partisan politics and insinuations that the RCCG is supporting a political party.

“I have said it before, and I will say it again, I am not and will never be a politician, I am a pastor – that is what God has called me to be,”

The sermon also dwelled on the massive crude theft in Niger Delta, where 10 percent of Nigeria’s crude is stolen.
