Mr.
Adeboye said the jet is necessary for God’s work. Enoch Adeboye, the
General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, has justified
his purchase of a private jet saying it is necessary for his work.
Mr.
Adeboye, one of the most respected Christian leaders in Nigeria and the
head of the Redeemed Church that has millions of members across 160
countries, stated this in an interview with global news channel,
Aljazeera.
The
pastor said “there are things you need,” to perform the task he does as
the general overseer. “When you have to oversee churches in 160
countries, you can’t do that on a bicycle,” he said in response to a
specific question on whether he needed to have acquired a private jet.
Though
considered unique in his simple appearance and un-flamboyant lifestyle,
Mr. Adeboye is one of the increasing numbers of Pentecostal pastors
that have acquired private jets, leading to condemnations by some
Nigerians.
The
other private jet acquiring pastors include David Oyedepo, the head of
the Living Faith Church Worldwide; and Ayo Oritsejafor, the current
President of the Christian Association of Nigeria.
