African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has disclosed that the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, prayed for him during a private meeting following his visit to the church.

Sowore made the disclosure on Sunday after attending the RCCG National Thanksgiving Service at the church’s headquarters in Ebute Metta, Lagos.

He said he attended the service on invitation and was accompanied by the AAC National Chairman, Samuel Ajeigbe.

According to Sowore, he met privately with Adeboye after the service, during which the cleric offered to pray for him.

Sowore said Adeboye told him that he followed his activities, described his path as honourable and expressed confidence in his eventual triumph.

Sowore also recalled that the meeting marked his second encounter with Adeboye at the same venue, with their first meeting taking place in 1996, shortly after he completed his National Youth Service Corps programme.

While expressing appreciation for the reception and prayers, Sowore stressed that his attendance at the thanksgiving service was not intended to promote a political agenda.
