Today, on invitation to its National Thanksgiving service, I attended a church service at the Redeemed Christian Church of God in @rccghq Ebute Metta, Lagos, alongside the National Chairman of our party, the African Action Congress (@aacparty), Pastor Samuel Ajeigbe. After the service, I had a private meeting and conversation with the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, who offered to pray for me. He stated that he follows my activities religiously, expressed certainty that my path is honorable, and said he is confident of my triumph. Interestingly, this was my second meeting with Pastor Adeboye at the same venue. Our first meeting was in 1996, shortly after I completed my National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). And met him while mobilizing the unlicensed against deadly campus cultism and the free reigns of cult gangs. Thirty years later, we met again at the same place. I deeply appreciate the warm reception of members of the church, and our private conversation, and his prayers. It is important to state that my visit was not intended to promote a political agenda. #Sowore2027 #AAC #TakeItBack
