Leke Adeboye Bows To Pressure, Apologises To RCCG Pastors

Leke Adeboye who is one of the sons of the general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye has finally apologised to RCCG Pastors after he called them “GOATS” for preaching after his father preached on a Sunday service.

Leke was made to face a three-man panel over his recent comment describing some pastors of the church as Goats.

On Tuesday, April 5, Leke shared a post on his Instagram page where he criticised Pastors who deliver their own sermons on the first Sunday of every month after his father must have delivered one that had been broadcasted across all parishes in the country.

Reacting to this development, Leke in his post wrote;

“Why would you go and preach another sermon after Daddy GO (General Overseer) had just finished speaking and preaching? You are not a son, you are a goat sir. Next Thanksgiving service, just do altar call, then Thanksgiving”

He received serious backlash for referring to the clergymen as goats.

Sahara Reporters reports that Leke was made to stand before a three-man panel on Wednesday which included his father-in-law, and was asked never to repeat such again after he had vehemently and arrogantly said he would not apologize for the insulting comments made against senior pastors of the church.

“Leke Adeboye was made to face a panel today (Wednesday) for insulting pastors and calling them goats. The three-man panel, unfortunately, did not punish him or ask him to apologise. One of the members of the panel is his father-in-law.

He arrogantly told off the panel that he cannot apologise. And what did they do? They only told him to not repeat it again”sources within the church were quoted as saying

However, in a latest development, Leke has apologised to RCCG Pastors. He published it on his Instagram page.

The statement reads:

“I wish to use this medium to tender my unreserved apologies on the statement made from my social media handle about some of our esteemed Pastors.

“The disciplinary measures taken by the mission is well received and this period will be used to reflect and introspect.

“I wish to crave your indulgence to please forgive my extreme statement which I wish to emphasise was absolutely not intended to insult or malign.

“I also wish to apologise profusely to the entire leadership and Pastors of our beloved Church who might have been hurt by this statement.

“I remain humbly yours in God’s love and mercies. Yours in His service, Leke Adeboye.”
