Sowore reveals mission at Holy Ghost Night, recounts what Adeboye told him

African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has revealed why he attended the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) National Thanksgiving service in Lagos and what transpired during his private meeting with the church’s General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye.

Sowore, who is seeking to contest the 2027 presidential election, said his appearance at the church’s headquarters in Ebute Metta was not driven by political calculations.

According to him, he attended the service as part of his personal mission and to seek spiritual guidance and prayers ahead of the challenges facing Nigeria.

Sowore said he was accompanied by the AAC National Chairman, Pastor Samuel Ajeigbe, during the visit.

He disclosed that after the service, he had a private conversation with Adeboye, who offered to pray for him.

Sowore said the RCCG leader told him that he had been following his activities closely and described his political journey as an honourable one.

According to the AAC candidate, Adeboye also expressed confidence in his eventual triumph.

Sowore said: “Pastor Adeboye received me privately and told me he follows my activities religiously. He described my path as honourable and expressed confidence in my triumph.”

He added that the meeting was significant because it was not his first encounter with the RCCG leader.

Sowore recalled that he first met Adeboye at the same Ebute Metta location in 1996, shortly after completing his National Youth Service Corps programme.

He said that at the time, he was involved in efforts to mobilise people against campus cultism and the activities of cult groups.

“Thirty years later, we met again at the same place,” Sowore said.

The presidential candidate expressed appreciation to members of the church for their reception and particularly thanked Adeboye for the private conversation and prayers.

Sowore stressed that his presence at the church should not be interpreted as part of a political strategy ahead of the 2027 election.

He has previously contested the presidency under the AAC in the 2019 and 2023 elections and is again seeking to lead the party into the 2027 presidential race.
