The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Enoch Adeboye, has declared that Nigeria’s next president in the 2027 general elections has already been determined by God, noting that divine will supercedes political calculations.
Adeboye made the remark on Saturday during at the Redemption City, along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, stressing that the outcome of the election ultimately rests beyond human control.
According to him, divine will supercedes political calculations. “The next president has already been decided by God who owns the universe.
“It is not something we can determine by human effort alone. The will of God will be done.”.
He urged Nigerians not to be overwhelmed by political tensions, emphasizing that God remains in control of the nation’s future.
While encouraging civic participation, Adeboye noted that spiritual trust should take precedence.
“I never said we should not be involved in politics, but we must understand that God has the final say in the affairs of men,” he added.
The cleric also advised citizens to remain calm, prayerful, and peaceful as political activities gather momentum ahead of the elections.
Adeboye addressed remarks attributed to activist Omoyele Sowore, who reportedly described him, and William Kumuyi as “fathers of Christians in Nigeria.”
He rejected the label, clarifying that his leadership is limited to his denomination.

“I don’t want to be the father of all Christians in Nigeria. I’m satisfied with being the father of RCCG,” Adeboye stated, adding that national Christian leadership rests with the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and its president.
Adeboye also dismissed claims suggesting that RCCG is aligned with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
He maintained that the church has consistently spoken on national issues, including economic hardship, and remains non-partisan.
The cleric noted that politicians are free to attend church services but would not be permitted to use the altar for political campaigns.
He further revealed his willingness to participate in peaceful protests if called upon by Christian leadership, recalling that he had taken similar action during the administration of Goodluck Jonathan.
Adeboye concluded by urging Nigerians to balance civic responsibility with faith, emphasizing prayer and trust in God as the nation approaches another critical election cycle.
