Pastor E.A Adeboye has reportedly retired as the General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God.

Adeboye retires as RCCG G.O. and Obayemi has been named as successor

The Nation reports that he announced his decision on Saturday morning, January 7.

Pastor J.O. Obayemi has been named as his successor.

Recall that last year, the church said those calling for his retirement because of his age were ignorant of the church’s doctrine.

Adeboye, 74, was appointed general overseer of the church in 1991, taking over from Papa Akindayomi, who had died the previous year.
