Leke Adeboye, the Senior Personal Assistant of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has eaten the humble pie and apologised after he was slammed for his choice of words while scolding some pastors in the church.
He took to his Instagram page to chastise some RCCG pastors who preached after his father’s sermon last Sunday, calling them ‘goats’ in the post.
”Why would you go and preach another sermon after Daddy GO had just finished speaking and preaching.
”You are not a son, you are a goat sir. Next Thanksgiving service, just do altar call, then Thanksgiving,” he wrote.

However, in a twist on Thursday, he pleaded for forgiveness in a statement, which he titled, ‘My sincere apology’, and released on his Instagram page.
Leke Adeboye said though his comment was extreme, his intention was not to malign or insult the church.
“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,” he said.
He continued, “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.
“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,”
