Our naira is now worth less than paper - Adeboye

Mr Adeboye questioned why the federal government was more concerned with beautifying banknotes than with finding a way to increase their value.

Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), is amused by the Central Bank's decision to redesign the naira, whose value has fallen to a historic low in recent weeks, claiming that the currency "is not even worth the paper it is printed on."

Speaking at the Holy Ghost Congress on Friday evening, Mr Adeboye, the leader of what is arguably Nigeria's largest Pentecostal denomination, said he couldn't understand why the federal government was more concerned with beautifying the N200, N500, and N1000 banknotes than figuring out a way to increase their value.

"Our naira is now worth less than the paper it is printed on. While people are going hungry, trying to find enough money to buy bread, our bosses are thinking of making the naira more beautiful, so that even if it can't buy bread, it will at least look beautiful," said the RCCG general overseer, amused.

"We need to beg God for mercy because what's going on in our country no longer makes sense," he added.

In terms of the country's politics, Mr Adeboye stated that God has yet to reveal whether or not the 2023 general elections will take place. The election dates have been set by the country's electoral body in February and March.

"Do you know that, even though it's November, Daddy hasn't told me yet that there will be an election next year?"

" Mr Adeboye posed a rhetorical question to the congregation.

"Of course, we continue as if there will be; I am saying that, Adeboye; I am not speaking of other people; God has not told me yet." I don't know if he'll tell me tomorrow, but as of now, as I sit in front of you, He hasn't told me whether or not there will be an election next year.

He also stated that he is willing to pray for political candidates who come to him for help, emphasizing that it is up to God to grant their wishes.

"Of course, as is customary, I will pray for anyone who comes to me and says, pray for me. That is my responsibility, but it is up to God to respond. "I'm not trying to scare you; I'm not telling you that I know something secret that you don't; I'm not a prophet; I'm just a pastor," Mr Adeboye emphasized.

Mr Adeboye announced a seven-day program in which church members would intercede for the nation. From November 26 to December 2, RCCG members will gather at 6 p.m. in various parishes to pray exclusively for Nigeria.

"We'll meet before 6 p.m." We will begin praying at 6 p.m. sharp. "We just want to pray for an hour, from 6 to 7 p.m.," said the revered pastor.
