The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has mocked the Nigerian government for making Covid-19 vaccination compulsory.
Adeboye made his opinion known on Friday night at the Redemption camp while preaching at the Holy Ghost Service programme.
The cleric said the number of doses of the vaccines was presently inadequate which made the compulsory vaccination a laughable policy.
The respected cleric added that the policy was made to make Nigerians laugh.
Adeboye said: “The number of doses available in the country is not even enough for 10 per cent of the total population of the nation. How do you then say whoever does not take the vaccine will not be able to go to the bank and church?
“It means 90 per cent of the population will not be able to access their money. We will need to go back to the olden days of keeping money, I hope you know.
“Well, I believe they just want to make us laugh and you know in Nigeria, we need things to make us laugh.”
Adeboye also made it known that he is ready to receive the Covid-19 vaccine for the sake of preaching the gospel globally.
The cleric told his members to also get vaccinated rather than live in fear.
Adeboye said:
“I have never said to you, ‘Don’t be vaccinated.’ You’ve never heard that from me. Rather than live in fear or doubt, get vaccinated. If you believe that getting vaccinated will put your mind at rest, then go ahead.
“Daddy, are you saying that you too could be vaccinated? If there are nations in the world that say that I cannot come to preach the gospel there because of vaccination, I will do anything for Jesus Christ.
“If vaccination or no vaccination is going to hinder me from doing the work God has called me to do, even if they ask me to be vaccinated 100 times, I will be vaccinated.”
