I knew Ghandi was destined to be Soun – Pastor Adeboye

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor E.A Adeboye, has said he knew for a long time that the Soun of Ogbomoso, Oba Ghandi Olaoye, was destined to be a king.

Olaoye was an RCCG pastor at the Jesus House in Washington DC, when he was chosen as the Soun of Ogbomoso following the death of Oba Jimoh Oyewumi, Ajagungbade III.

He was installed as the 21st Soun of Ogbomoso in Oyo State in September and he is scheduled to be presented with the staff of office on Tuesday, December 19 by Governor, Seyi Makinde.

On Sunday, an interdenominational thanksgiving service for the new Soun was held at Beulah Baptist Conference, Ogbomoso.

In attendance was the RCCG General Overseer, Adeboye.

In his remarks, Adeboye said he had always known that Olaoye was born to be a king, adding that God had a hand in his ascension to the ancient throne.

The emergence of Olaoye, a pastor, as the Soun had raised an eyebrow in the public space, with many wondering how he would maneuver through the African traditional rites involved in the coronation of a Yoruba monarch.

Addressing the issue on Sunday, Adeboye said Olaoye’s emergence as Soun had God’s backing and he could not stop it.

The GO said, “I knew Olaoye was born to be king. When he (Olaoye) came to me to inform me about the development I told him to go and pray.

“He came back and said he had not heard anything. I told him to go back and pray again, and after a while, he came back and told me, ‘God has spoken. I have heard him loud and clear that I should go ahead’.

“It was then that I told him to go ahead because it had been destined. I knew that long ago but I wanted God to speak to him directly.

“To my critics, if I said no and God said yes, whose word is the final? God, of course. So, I cannot stop him because Pastor Olaoye was destined to be a king even before he was born and thank God it is coming to fruition.”
