Enoch Adeboye, general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has praised US President Donald Trump, calling him a man of his word.
Speaking
at the US-Nigeria faith heroes award gala organised by the Save
Nigeria Group on June 23 in Washington, Adeboye thanked God for Trump.
“Thank God for Trump,” Adeboye said.
“Last year, around November, he sent a message that he was
coming to bomb Nigeria. And I felt that, again, if I did not say something,
things might not go the way they should go.
“You see, there is something wonderful about bombing. The
only problem with it is that no matter how accurate your bomb may be, some
innocent people will suffer. And I think he meant to bomb us several times.
“So again, I had to speak in November, on the first Friday
of November last year. I announced publicly that the government must do
something quickly. I said to them: ‘I have never met Trump, but I have followed
him, and I like him.’
“That does not mean I agree with all his ways. What I like
about him is this: one, he tells the truth. He is the best politician I have
ever met.”
Adeboye said he also shared his perception on Trump with the
US ambassador during the diplomat’s visit to his home.
When the envoy asked him what he thought about Trump,
Adeboye said he replied: “I like him.” Asked why, the pastor said “he is doing
what he promised you he would do”.
Adeboye told the audience that “to be a good politician, you
must be able to say two things from the same mouth. That is what makes you a
professional politician”.
“And I like him (Trump) because, when he says: ‘I want to do
this,’ you had better get ready. Many times, he would even have done what he
was going to do before telling you.”
The RCCG overseer added that he had similar conversations
with President Bola Tinubu and Oluremi, the first lady. Oluremi is also an RCCG
pastor.
Adeboye said he told Tinubu to contact his US counterpart
and provide assurance of Nigeria’s commitment to counter-terrorism.
