RCCG pastor Adeboye has come under fire for asking Nigerian youths not to protest or criticize his ally Tinubu and government but he instead ask Nigerians to offer solutions to the current problem facing the country…    RCCG pastor Adeboye

These problems many of us believe APC and Tinubu brought upon which many are asking Tinubu to resign so the country can know peace and progress.

In the heated political and religious landscape of Nigeria, few names resonate as powerfully as Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the esteemed General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG). Recently, he stirred up quite a debate by encouraging Nigerian youths to step up and offer solutions to the country’s challenges instead of just criticizing those in power.

While his call for proactive engagement seems commendable, many Nigerians couldn’t help but recall his past actions during former President Goodluck Jonathan’s time in office.    RCCG pastor Adeboye

The burning question on everyone’s mind is: Why did Pastor Adeboye actively participate in protests against Jonathan without asking the youth for solutions, yet now he’s taking a different stance under Bola Tinubu’s administration?

Adeboye vs. Jonathan Era

Back in 2012, during Goodluck Jonathan’s presidency, Pastor Adeboye was at the forefront of nationwide protests against the removal of the fuel subsidy. His courageous stance was celebrated as a powerful display of leadership, as he stood alongside everyday Nigerians in their fight. At that time, he didn’t call on the youth to come up with solutions before voicing their concerns about government policies. Instead, he amplified their voices and lent moral support to their resistance.    RCCG pastor Adeboye

Adeboye’s Statement Under Tinubu’s Government

Fast forward to 2025, and Adeboye is now urging young Nigerians to “come up with solutions to Nigeria’s challenges” rather than just criticizing the leaders. He believes that we need constructive ideas to help rebuild the nation.

However, this change in his message has raised some eyebrows. Critics are accusing him of double standards and even tribal bias, suggesting that Adeboye’s stance on national issues seems to depend on who’s in charge at Aso Rock.

Hypocrisy or Wisdom?

Nigerians on social media have been vocal about this. While some support Adeboye’s call for solutions, many others are questioning why he didn’t apply the same logic during Jonathan’s time in office. For them, this selective activism highlights the tribal and political biases that are deeply rooted in Nigeria’s religious and political scene.

One popular comment really captured the sentiment: “Adeboye was a protest leader when GEJ was in power. Now, he’s telling youths to be quiet and solve problems under Tinubu. Is this consistency or hypocrisy?”

Why This Matters

The influence of religious leaders in Nigerian politics is significant. With millions of followers, figures like Adeboye have a huge impact. When they speak, it can shape public opinion across the nation. The real question is: Should pastors get involved in politics at all, and if they do, shouldn’t they strive for consistency no matter who is in power?

Pastor Adeboye’s recent comments have sparked fresh discussions about the complex relationship between religion, politics, and tribalism in Nigeria. While his critics point out what they see as inconsistencies in his stance, his supporters believe he’s simply advocating for a more pragmatic approach to governance.    RCCG pastor Adeboye

This controversy leaves many Nigerians pondering: Is Pastor Adeboye truly representing a fair national perspective, or has his tone shifted based on the current leadership in Nigeria?

What do you think? Is Pastor Adeboye being fair, or does he seem to pick and choose his battles depending on who’s in charge?
