A former pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG),
Bankole Solomon, who criticized Pastor Enoch Adeboye for inviting President
Goodluck Jonathan to the annual RCCG Holy Ghost service has apologized for his
outburst.
Below is his facebook apology message.
This was his initial post that caused the controversy
"I know this post will attract a sharp condemnation because I worship in RCCG and I was once a pastor before I resigned voluntarily because of rights violations in the name of religion. I resigned in December 2010 but I am still worshiping there as an ordinary member. So, whatever I have here is without prejudice.
"Holy ghost congress of our great church is now a political congress where all shades of corrupt leaders will mount our altar to fool Nigerians on what they will do.
"Holy Ghost congress is now a supermarket where all kinds of people like charlatans and political opportunist come shopping turning God to father Christmas to give them end of the year bonus.
"Jonathan was even there turning our once sacred altar to political podium talking deceitfully and indirectly campaigning for 2015. My question is this? On what ground was president Jonathan allowed to speak to people. Is he a pastor? Because the gathering is purely a spiritual gathering and event.
"I've been a pastor in Redeemed for the past 10 years and I've not got any opportunity to sit on dat altar not to talk of holding mic. If because Jonathan is a President and he is recognized, it means some are more equal than others.
"Immediately I left camp on Saturday morning, I looked at the camp very well because I know that would be the last time I will set my foot to that Eagle Square called Redeemed camp."

People should stop insulting readers. I doubt that the person who wrote the complaint wrote the apology. I believe a 'church' lover wrote the apology in an attempt to make the real Bankole out as a misguided child. Anybody can open a facebook page.
