The Redeemed Christian Church of God has warned the Action Congress in Ekiti State against linking its General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, with the alleged diversion of public funds to religious purposes.

A statement issued by Pastor Ola Adejubee of Province 1, RCCG in Ekiti State and made available to our correspondent in Ado-Ekiti on Monday, said that the church did not need taxpayers' money to organise any crusade.
The statement accused the AC of using surreptitious means to cast "aspersions on the good name of the RCCG and the person of Pastor E.A. Adeboye, the general overseer of the church ,by insinuating that the church and our respected G.O are colluding with the government of Ekiti State to waste a colossal amount of money on a programme it derisively described as a black market spiritual exercise."
Adejubee added that the crusade, scheduled for Friday in Ado-Ekiti, did not have any input from the state government or any politician. He said it was a service organised to further propagate the gospel.
The spokesman of the AC in Ekiti State, Mr. Yemi Adaramodu, had on February 2, in a statement, asked clergymen to shun Governor Segun Oni's invitation to the state, as this would be used to siphon public resources.
He said in the statement, "The vegetating PDP regime in Ekiti State is currently using the veil of hosting a legion of pastors to loot the state's treasury.
"We are at home with the coming of men of God to Ekiti on ecumenical crusades but certainly not on the invitation and bills of the Ekiti PDP regime, which is a vector for poll robbery, illicit and venal practices and till plundering."
