Sowore: Adeboye prayed for me, expressed confidence in my triumph

African Action Congress presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has said Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, offered to pray for him and expressed confidence in his “triumph” after a private meeting in Lagos.

Sowore disclosed this in posts on his X handle on Sunday, October 4, 2026, after attending the National Thanksgiving Service at the RCCG headquarters in Ebute-Metta.

Vanguard reported that Sowore attended the service alongside AAC National Chairman, Pastor Samuel Ajeigbe, and was introduced to the congregation.

“We received a warm and enthusiastic reception today at the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) headquarters in Ebute-Metta, Lagos, after I was introduced to the congregation,” he wrote.

Sowore said Adeboye told him he followed his activities “religiously”, described his path as honourable and expressed confidence in his eventual triumph.

“He stated that he follows my activities religiously, expressed certainty that my path is honorable, and said he is confident of my triumph.”

Sowore said the encounter was their second meeting, recalling their first meeting in 1996. He stressed that his visit was not politically motivated.
