Founder's Daughter Denies Claims of Disrespect Towards RCCG Legacy

Mrs. Titilayo Akindayomi-Adewale, daughter of the late founder of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pa Josiah Akindayomi, has publicly refuted claims that she accused church leaders of neglecting her father's legacy. Reports had suggested she alleged that some senior pastors were unaware of Akindayomi's founding role or were not prioritizing his memory.

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.

In a statement shared on her Facebook page, Akindayomi-Adewale described the circulating claims as false and urged for an immediate cessation of misinformation. She clarified that no statement attributed to her, either directly or indirectly, originated from her. She emphasized that her father's most significant legacy was not earthly structures but the spiritual impact on people's lives, stating, "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."

My father consistently believed in building people rather than merely constructing buildings. He never believed in acquiring wealth or earthly possessions.

Akindayomi-Adewale further explained her father's philosophy, noting his reluctance to even own a personal residence because he did not value material wealth. "My father consistently believed in building people rather than merely constructing buildings. He never believed in acquiring wealth or earthly possessions," she said. She argued that it would be contrary to his beliefs to suggest he desired prominent association with buildings or institutions.

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.

She posited that the reports aimed to instigate controversy and division within the church community rather than genuinely honor her father's memory. "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," she stated, warning those spreading such information against their "mischievous acts of misinformation." Akindayomi-Adewale concluded by expressing her unwavering support for the current leadership, led by General Overseer Pastor Enoch Adeboye, praying for their continued guidance.
