The General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has said that God has not told him the winner of the February 25 presidential election in Nigeria.
This is just as the foremost cleric, who is fondly called Daddy GO by his followers, urged registered voters to collect their Permanent Voters Card (PVC) and vote for their preferred candidate in the forthcoming election.
Adeboye stated this during his sermon at the January 2023 Holy Ghost Service of the RCCG on Friday night.
Addressing the mammoth congregation, the cleric said anyone prophesying the winner of the election is “deceiving you”.
“Let me tell you one thing. This is for your ears only. Anyone who is prophesying now, telling you this is the fellow who will win, is deceiving you.
“You know why? Daddy has not spoken yet. He hasn’t said anything. So, if you say somebody released a prophecy, saying somebody from this place is the [winner], na lie o”.

He added, “Prophecies are good, particularly if they come from God. There are some funny people in Nigeria who call themselves prophets. They don’t even know the meaning of prophecies. I’m not a prophet but I know how the way God speaks because he talks to me once in a while; I’m a pastor I’m satisfied with that office.
“But when somebody says he’s prophesying, and he says three people are contesting for a post, that if the first person wins, there will be plenty of food, if the second win, there will be plenty to drink and if the third win there will be a lot to wear, this is not prophecy, that is conjecture.
“If God is the one speaking, he will tell you there are three people contesting and this is the one who will win. That is the way God talks, there is no ifs or maybe.”
