Effiong said that Adeboye’s claim that God stopped the exchange rate skyrocketing to N10,000 for $1 is preposterous.
Inibehe Effiong, a Nigerian human rights lawyer, has told Pastor Enoch Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, to retire and go home because of his recent controversial statements.
Effiong said that Adeboye’s claim that God stopped the exchange rate skyrocketing to N10,000 for $1 is preposterous.
The human rights lawyer insisted that prayers do not have any effect on the exchange rate, maintaining that it is determined by economic and monetary policies, and the productivity of a country.
In a post on his X handle on Saturday, Effiong said: “Pastor Enoch Adeboye should retire and go home. His controversial statements on the state of the nation offends the sensibilities of right thinking members of the society.
“In life, it is always better to know when to exit the stage. The fact that Adeboye is holding brief for this incompetent and oppressive government is a mockery of Christianity.
“Many people in our country have stopped going to Church due to the sickening hypocrisy and connivance of these religious leaders.
“Tinubu has paid billions in fuel subsidy, contrary to his public statements.
“Tinubu’s government has not addressed the rot and corruption in the oil sector. We are not all naive and gullible.
“It is preposterous for Adeboye to say that it is his prayers that has made the Naira not to depreciate further. Prayers do not have any effect on the exchange rate. Exchange rate is determined by economic and monetary policies, and the productivity of a country.
“Adeboye has been praying for decades for Nigeria and Nigerian politicians and things haven’t improved. It is either his prayers are not working or God is not listening to him.
“Some of the most corrupt and evil politicians and political leaders in our country today are disciples and followers of Pastor Adeboye.
“He should look himself in the mirror.”
