Osinbajo Reveals Two People Who Played a Role in Accepting To Be VP

Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has disclosed that the General Overseer (Worldwide) of the Redeemed Christians Church of God, RCCG, Pastor E. A. Adeboye, and his (Osibanjo) wife, Dolapo, were the two people he consulted before accepting to serve as the country’s Vice President in 2015. 

Osinbajo, who spoke on Tuesday during the public presentation of a book entitled: ‘Pastor E.A Adeboye: His Life and Calling’, explained that because he was not a politician when the opportunity came, only two persons were in his mind to get their consent.

According to him, “And those two were my wife and Adeboye, also known as Daddy G.O. Over the years, Daddy had been instrumental factor to my spiritual growth. Just like Baba Obasanjo, I consulted Daddy and gave the go-ahead to accept the VP position, before then, I was not a politician,” he said. 

The acting President noted that the RCCG was the only Church that has been able to pull the largest gathering at a convention in the world, saying; “Apart from Coca-cola, the Church is next in mileage across the world. And it all has to do with sincerity, dedication and humility of Daddy G.O.”
