Protect your people like Fayose, Adeboye charges governors

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has admonished state governors in the country to emulate their Ekiti State counterpart, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, in standing up for and protecting the interest of their people.

He stated this in Ado-Ekiti on Saturday at the Palace of Ewi of Ado-Ekiti, Oba Rufus Adejugbe Aladesanmi III.

The renowned cleric, who paid a courtesy call on the monarch before attending a crusade at the Oluyemi Kayode Stadium, described Fayose as a great defender of his people and their cause.

Adeboye also commended Fayose for taking great risks to defend and protect the interests of his people.

“Your Excellency, we thank God for your life, courage, boldness and being willing to take the risk so that your people can be protected and I know you know what I am talking about. You can be sure that we are praying for you and you will succeed. I hope other governors will stand for their people like you and defend their people and say enough is enough,” Adeboye said.

Adeboye, who prayed for the restoration of the lost glory of Ekiti, also commended Oba Adejugbe for leading his people in the way of the Lord.

Earlier, Governor Fayose said Nigerians appreciate the efforts of Adeboye at taking the gospel round the world.

“We know that it is at this time of the year that you go round and we pray that God strengthens you. Your visit is annually and when a man of God passes by, we want to take that advantage for him to bless us. We appreciate your efforts at taking the gospel round the world,” he said.

Oba Adejugbe also described Adeboye’s visit as a blessing to the palace, and the people of the state in general.

Pastor Adeboye held a revival at the stadium and later visited Ilawe and Ogotun-Ekiti.
