Leke Adeboye, son of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has been criticized for slamming erring pastors of the church, calling them ‘goats’ for preaching their sermons after the G.O. had finished speaking and preaching.
Leke’s comment generated outrage on social media as many condemned the statement while some others called for his suspension.
Usually, first Sunday of every month, parishes of the RCCG were linked up with the Nationwide Headquarters of the church, where the G.O. would deliver a sermon, expected to be the only sermon of the day. Meanwhile, some parish pastors did a follow-up preaching after the G.O’s.
Reacting to such a move, Pastor Leke took to his Instagram account and referred to the RCCG pastors who preached their messages after the G.O. had preached his sermon as ‘goats.’
In the now-deleted post, Leke stated;
Why would you go and preach another sermon after Daddy G.O. had just finished speaking and preaching. You are not a son, you are a goat sir. Next Thanksgiving service, just do an altar call, then Thanksgiving.
Twitter users bemoaned this statement, called it rude and others demanded his suspension by the RCCG.

Bro calling pastors a goats under is totally wrong and unacceptable. I urge you to humbly apologize and retract your words. This pastors you called goats have supported,carry and pay huge sacrifices for continuous expansion of RCCG— Adeye Isaac Adebowal (@Adeyeadebowale) April 5, 2022
I don’t know if this is true heard you called pastors goat… Jesus never for once insulted humans if one claim to be a true Christian he will follow Jesus Christ example, I’m surprised that nobody called u out concerning insulting the pastors …

I’ve not read the comment of Leke Adeboye, the son of Daddy G.O calling RCCG ordained pastors goats. Who knows if he tweeted it out of anger?but that’s not an excuse. Nevertheless, if it’s actually true; I think he was rude & should apologize to avoid any form of suspension.

Leke Adeboye is as silly as Bashir El-rufai.
One is the power drunk son of a pastor while the other is the power drunk son of a politician.

Pastor Leke Adeboye of the RCCG has no right whatsoever to refer to pastors as “goats” because they decided to preach after Daddy G. O has finished preaching. You are a man of God, we shouldn’t have to teach you the need to be humble and respectful.

All men of God are human before anything. So, they are bound to make mistakes just like everyone else especially when they are new to the work of God.
RCCG General overseer’s son, leke Adeboye, is human and will definitely learn his lessons.— BEST (@d_best4ever) April 6, 2022

Why is Leke Adeboye like this?
He always into scandal .why will a Christian call image of God a goat?— Ayo (@influentialayyo) April 5, 2022
RCCG might scatter if Adeboye is no more. How can his son Leke be trolling a pastor of the church. This is embarrassing.

Your father’s name may get you recognition here on earth but each and every man will give account and stand before the judgement throne of God.
Leke Adeboye repent and give your life to Christ. You’re clearly not a Christian.

Two wrongs don’t make a right, Leke Adeboye calling pastors goat was way overboard. Really leaves much to be desired. Always been controversial though. I wonder how he would have reacted if he was the G.O.

@LekeAdeboye These pastors raise churches as their private investment, they line up their upcoming offsprings to succeed them, dislodging the initial hierarchy that grew the church from nothing…what of if God ministers to others to preach ..mind you sir,your daddy is not God? pic.twitter.com/tmochH4YjB
