RCCG Founder’s Daughter Denies Claim Her Father Was Not Immortalised
Pastor Titilayo Akindayomi-Adewale, the daughter of the founder of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Rev Josiah Olufemi Akindayomi has debunked the news making the round that she called out Pastor Enoch Adeboye for not naming a major monuments, especially the Redeemers University after her late father.
She added that the report is false in its entirety and a fake news.
Akindayomi-Adewale further described the claims as false and urged those circulating them to stop spreading misinformation.
She debunked the circulating stories and clarified her stance in a statement shared on Facebook page on Monday.
She said the statement attributed to her did not originate from her “either implicitly or explicitly,” stressing that her father’s greatest legacy was not tied to buildings or monuments but the lives he transformed.
“For the record, Baba’s image or lack thereof on any edifice on earth is nothing compared to making Heaven and his face being recognized there,” she wrote.
She explained that her father never encouraged the pursuit of material possessions or earthly recognition, recalling that he was reluctant even to own a personal residence because he did not place value on material acquisitions.
“My father consistently believed in building people rather than merely constructing buildings.
“He never believed in acquiring wealth or earthly possessions,” she said, adding that it would be inconsistent to suggest that he desired his name or image to be prominently associated with buildings or institutions.
According to her, the reports were aimed at creating unnecessary controversy and division within the church rather than promoting the memory of its founder.
“In my opinion, this report and similar ones are not about me, my father, or even the leadership of the RCCG. Instead, they are intended to create unnecessary arguments and division.
“Their purpose is to divert attention from the divine work currently being carried out and sow discord among us,” she stated.
Akindayomi-Adewale warned those responsible for circulating the reports to desist from what she described as “mischievous acts of misinformation.”
She also reaffirmed her support for the leadership of the church, praying for continued wisdom and strength for the General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, and his family.
