Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has said social distancing is not applicable between him and his wife, Foluke.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Pastor Adeboye stated this on Sunday in reaction to the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) protocol of social distancing.
Pastor Adeboye, while alluding reasons as to why Africans are not dying like rats from the dreaded COVID-19, also stated that social distancing would not stop him from laying hands on the sick.
Adeboye, fondly referred to Daddy G.O. gave the reasons in what seems to be a direct response to Bill Gates who had queried low COVID-19 cases and deaths in Africa.
“We have no money, we have no resources but we have God. They expected us to die like rats,” Pastor Adeboye said, while also giving reasons for not holding the RCCG annual crossover service at redemption camp.
He gave the reasons for not holding the annual crossover service of the church as submission to State and FG Government’s authority and laws and cooperation because he is under the authority of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).
“The Government and the ministries like NCDC are doing their best to protect us. We shouldn’t be advised to wash our hands because of COVID-19; it should be our status quo even when Coronavirus is gone.
“Obey social distancing. Most importantly obey the Government laws on safety,” he told the congregation, adding “listen to the Government God would protect you but don’t be careless”.
