I don’t trust politicians, they’re liars – Adeboye

The General Overseer of Redeemed
Christian Church of God, Pastor
Enoch Adeboye, on Friday said he
does not trust politicians.
Adeboye spoke while in Obafemi
Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun
State, for a two-day
interdenominational prayer.
According to the cleric, politicians
in most cases hardly fulfil their
promises.
Adeboye justified his position by
giving an illustration with the story
of three travellers – an Indian, a Jew
and a politician.
He narrated that while on their
journey, the three travellers had
some challenges, and went to a
farmer for help but the farmer said
he could only accommodate two.
He said the Indian volunteered to
sleep in the barn but returned a
few minutes later that there was a
cow there.
The Indian, according to the
illustration, said he can’t sleep
there because cows are gods,
worshipped in his country.
Adeboye said the Jew also came
back complaining that the pig
inside where he was placed was
unclean.
The cleric added that the politician
volunteered to go and sleep
among the pigs.
Instead of the politician to come
back complaining, Adeboye said, it
was the pig and cow that came
knocking that the politician be sent
away because he had promised to
make the environment, including
the barn, conducive with air-
conditioner.
“I don’t trust politicians; politicians
are liars. They don’t fulfil most of
their promises. A politician can tell
you that they will give all of you
(students) chicken each, which we
all know it is impossible,” Adeboye
said.
The RCCG general overseer, whose
one of his pastors, Prof. Yemi
Osinbajo (SAN), is the vice-
presidential candidate for the All
Progressives Congress, asked
Nigerian to stop worrying
themselves about who would
emerge winner in the next
election.
He explained that God is a “master
planner,” who already planned the
leadership development of Nigeria.
He added, “Stop disturbing yourself
about who will be the President of
Nigeria. God has already planned
who will be the President of
Nigeria. God has already planned
that before we were born. God is
not like human beings, who doubts
what is to be done. He has plan for
everything.”
Vice-Chancellor of OAU, Prof.
Bamitale Omole, commended
Adeboye for his yearly presence in
the university, saying his divine
intervention were having positive
impacts in the school.
“We appreciate the love of Pastor
Adeboye. With God and his
presence last year, we had no
calamities and also emerged as the
best university in Nigeria. I urge
students to be prayerful and
cautious of what they do as God will
continue to protect us,” he added.
