The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Enoch Adeboye, has said the outcome of Nigeria’s 2027 presidential election is already settled by divine authority.
Adeboye made the remark on Saturday during a workers’ meeting at the Redemption City along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, stressing that human actions alone cannot determine who emerges as president.
He said, “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.”
The cleric urged Nigerians not to be overwhelmed by political tension, noting that the direction of the country ultimately rests in God’s hands.

“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 said.
As political activities begin to gather pace ahead of the elections, Adeboye encouraged citizens to remain calm, prayerful and law-abiding.
“We should do our part, but we should also keep on praying and trust God. That is what is satisfying to me,” he added.
He also responded to remarks linked to activist Omoyele Sowore, clarifying that his leadership role is limited to his denomination, pointing to the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) as the body that represents Christians nationwide.
“Sowore said that we are not the fathers of Christians but we are denominational fathers. He is very correct. I don’t want to be father of all Christians in Nigeria. I’m satisfied with being the father of the Redeemed Christian Churh of God. That’s enough assignment for me.
“I have never wanted to be the father of all Christians in Nigeria. The
CAN President is the father leader of Christians in Nigeria.”
Addressing another issue, Adeboye dismissed claims circulating online that the RCCG is aligned with the ruling All Progressives Congress, maintaining that the church is not tied to any political party.
He said the church has continued to speak out on national matters, particularly issues affecting citizens’ welfare.
Adeboye added that he would not hesitate to join a peaceful protest if called upon by the Christian Association of Nigeria, insisting that his stance is guided by principle.
“I have protested before during the Goodluck Jonathan administration,” he said.
He further noted that while politicians are free to attend church services at the camp, they are not permitted to use the altar as a platform for political campaigns.
