Sowore Meets Pastor Adeboye, Critiques Obi Supporters

On October 5, 2026, Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), attended the National Thanksgiving service at the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) headquarters in Ebute Meta, Lagos State. Accompanied by AAC National Chairman Pastor Samuel Ajeigbe, Sowore revealed he had a private meeting with Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of RCCG, who prayed for him and expressed confidence in his political journey.

Sowore noted that this was his second meeting with Adeboye, the first occurring in 1996. He emphasized that his church visit was not politically motivated.

Sowore also criticized supporters of Peter Obi, known as the Obidients, claiming they were distressed by his activities, including the church visit. He contrasted the reception he received at the church with that of Lagos APC officials, stating that while they received a cold response, he was met with enthusiasm from church members.
