The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has come under severe criticism from social media users after he claimed that Nigeria’s problems are spiritual.
The attacks came following the emergence of a video where the cleric said Nigeria’s ongoing socio-economic challenges should not be blàmed on the country’s political leaders alone because they are making efforts to find solutions.
He, however, believes that only divine intervention can truly rescue Nigeria from its current difficulties.
Adeboye, who spoke during a visit to the Kaduna State governor, Uba Sani, said:
“I am delighted to be here again. I was here about two years ago with the former governor. At that time, I came to pray for some of my members who were kidnapped and were miraculously rescued. I came to encourage their families to let them know that all will be well.
“I have come again this time around because it has become more clearer to us that the problems our nation is facing is more than political. Our problems will require quite a bit of spiritual solution.

“We as a country are blessed. We are blessed with people with great intelligence. We are blessed with all manners of resources and yet we have so many problems.
“It is not as if people in authority are not trying their best. They are doing as much as humanly possible and then we found out that when you have problems that are beyond human ability to solve them, you call on the Almighty. The reason we call Him Almighty is because He has the power to solve all problems.
“So, we have been going round in our own little ways to support the efforts of all the various governments and parastatals to call on the Almighty to come to our aid because we need help. We need help and we need it urgently,” Adeboye said.
But the comments by the man of God has not gone down well with many Nigerians who criticized him for being hypocritical.
While some blasted him for not being as vocal in condemning the present government as he used to do when Goodluck Jonathan was in power, others claimed he has been compromised.
