African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has said the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, prayed for him and expressed confidence in his victory ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
Sowore disclosed this after attending the RCCG National Thanksgiving Service at the church’s headquarters in Ebute Metta, Lagos, on Sunday, alongside the National Chairman of the AAC, Pastor Samuel Ajeigbe.
According to him, he later had a private meeting with Adeboye, who offered to pray for him and told him that he had been following his activities.
Sowore said the cleric described his path as honourable and expressed confidence in his eventual triumph.
He said, “He stated that he follows my activities religiously, expressed certainty that my path is honourable, and said he is confident of my triumph.”
Sowore added that the meeting marked his second encounter with Adeboye at the same venue, recalling that they first met in 1996, shortly after he completed his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
According to him, their first meeting took place when he was involved in efforts to mobilise students against campus cultism and the activities of cult groups.
“Thirty years later, we met again at the same place. I deeply appreciate the warm reception of members of the church, and our private conversation, and his prayers,” he said.
Sowore, however, stressed that his visit to the church was not intended to promote a political agenda.
“It is important to state that my visit was not intended to promote a political agenda,” he added.
