Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate for the African Action Congress (AAC), has revealed that Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), offered prayers and expressed confidence in his political journey during a recent meeting.
Sowore shared details of this significant encounter following a National Thanksgiving Service at the RCCG headquarters in Ebute-Metta, Lagos, on Sunday, October 4. He took to social media to recount the warm reception he received from the congregation, emphasizing the support for his message of "hope, revolutionary justice, and national renewal."
During a private conversation after the service, Adeboye reportedly told Sowore that he closely follows his activities and considers his political path honorable. Sowore quoted the pastor as saying, “I am confident of your triumph.”
The meeting marked a reunion for the two, who first crossed paths in 1996 after Sowore completed his National Youth Service Corps program. Both encounters occurred at the same venue, highlighting a long-standing connection between the two figures.
Sowore attended the service at the invitation of RCCG’s National Chairman, Pastor Samuel Ajeigbe. He expressed gratitude for the church members' enthusiastic reception and the pastor’s prayers, noting the significance of their conversations.
Despite the warm interactions, Sowore clarified that his visit was not intended to promote a political agenda, aiming instead to connect with the community and share his vision for Nigeria's future.
As the election season approaches, Sowore's engagement with influential figures like Adeboye underscores the blending of faith and politics in Nigeria. The support from a prominent religious leader may bolster his campaign as he seeks to resonate with voters.
In related news, Sowore’s visit comes amid discussions from Adeboye and Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, urging Nigerians to serve their nation, further emphasizing the role of leadership and responsibility.
With Sowore’s campaign gaining momentum, the backing of influential figures could play a pivotal role in shaping his narrative as he moves forward in the political landscape.
