Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has said that the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Enoch Adeboye, prayed for him the night before his helicopter crashed.
Prof Osinbajo said this on Sunday during a thanksgiving service held at the RCCG, City of Grace parish, Lokoja, Kogi state, according to a statement on Monday by his spokesperson, Laolu Akande.
Osinbajo said, “On Friday, we went to (RCCG) camp; usually, I attend our Holy Ghost service. We came in very late from Akwa Ibom State. In fact, we arrived just in time for the grace at the end of the service.
“Thereafter, our daddy in the Lord, (G.O) Pastor Adeboye, wanted to speak to me. He asked me how things were going on, the campaign activities and all that, and I explained everything; what I was doing on the campaign trail and all of that, some of the challenges.
“He then said, I am going to pray for you. He said a prayer that turned out to be very interesting because usually, as you know, he doesn’t pray for long.
“He said ‘Lord God Almighty, I want you to protect this man,’ He said it three times and paused, then he continued. ‘You know how very dear he is to my heart. I want you to protect him.’ I found it very funny that he repeated it several times and then he prayed for favour and other things.
“So, when the crash happened, immediately it dawned on me that the Lord God had led him to say that very special prayer.”
