Enoch Adeboye clarifies photo misrepresentation from 2020

Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), addressed allegations regarding a photograph of him holding a placard, which was misrepresented as a protest against former President Goodluck Jonathan. Adeboye clarified that the photograph was taken during a prayer walk organized by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in 2020, aimed at addressing insecurity in Nigeria under President Muhammadu Buhari's administration.

He emphasized that the event occurred five years after Jonathan left office in 2015. Adeboye expressed concern over the journalist's misrepresentation, which led to public misunderstanding of his actions.

He recalled that CAN had instructed churches to conduct prayer walks, prompting his participation in Ebute Metta, Lagos. Adeboye highlighted the importance of verifying information before publication, reflecting on his background in journalism studies.

His statements underscore the need for accurate context in media reporting regarding public figures.
