Pastor Leke Adeboye, son of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor E. A. Adeboye has apologised for ‘goat’ comments he made at pastors.
Leke in a post lashed out at pastors who preached a sermon even after the General Overseer had preached via cable television, describing them as ‘goats’.
On Thursday, Leke who had previously refused to apologise faced a three-man disciplinary panel and was punished for his statement.
After the punishment, he apologised to the mission and the pastors of RCCG for his uncouth statement.
“I wish to use this medium to tender my unreserved apologies on the statement made from my social media handle about some of our esteemed pastors,” Leke Adeboye said.
Adding that, “The disciplinary measures taken by the Mission is well received and this period will be used to reflect and introspect.
“I wish to crave your indulgence to please forgive my extreme statement which I wish to emphasise was absolutely not intended to insult or malign.
Leke Adeboye added that, “I also wish to apologise profusely to the entire leadership and pastors of our beloved church who might have been hurt by this statement.
“I remain humbly yours in God’s love and mercies. Yours in His service, Leke Adeboye,” he said.
