This indication came to light with a purported memo making the rounds in some social media platforms announcing the establishment of an ‘Office of Directorate of Politics and Governance’ by the church.
The memo dated 28th of February, 2022, from the office of the Assistant General Overseer (Admin/Personnel) Pastor J.F. Odesola, and addressed to all pastors-in-charge of regions and provinces.of the office stated that the new directorate will be spearheaded by one Pastor Timothy Olaniyan.
It stated that the aim and objective of the Directorate is to help support the ambitions of RCCG church members who want to go into politics and hold leadership roles.
The letter reads in part, “The essence of the Directorate is to help coordinate the engagement of our people who are willing to be involved in politics.
