The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has disclosed the reason behind his decision not to hinder Pastor Oba Ghandi Olaoye, a former RCCG pastor in the United States, from pursuing the Soun of Ogbomosoland stool.
Pastor Adeboye, made the announcement while speaking at Beulah Baptist Conference, Ogbomoso, the venue of the interdenominational thanksgiving services for the new Soun, stressed the he knew Olaoye was born to be a king.
Governor Seyi Makinde approved Olaoye’s selection on September 2, 2023, following the vacancy left by the passing of Oba Jimoh Oyewumi, Ajagungbade III.
The installation ceremony, led by the kingmakers in Ogbomosoland, took place on September 8, 2023, at Abata.
Adeboye recounted advising Olaoye to seek divine guidance, starting, “When he (Olaoye) came to me to inform me about the development I told him to go and pray, he came back and said he had not heard anything. I told him to go back and pray again, and after a while, he came back and told me God had spoken. I have heard him loud and clear that I should go ahead. It was then that I told him to go because it had been destined. I knew that long ago, but I want God to speak to him directly.

“To my critics, if I said no and God said Yes, whose word is the final? God of course. So, I cannot stop him because Pastor Olaoye was destined to be a king even before he was born and thank God it is coming to fruition,” the clergy man revealed.
