After several backlashes from social media users and church members, Leke Adeboye, the son of the General Overseer of the Redeem Christian Church of God (RCCG) has apologised for colling some pastors of the church “goat”.

Earlier in the week, the pastor and Senior Personal Assistant to his father, Daddy G.O slammed some pastors for preaching after his father’s sermon.

He had said; “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”.

Many members of RCCG who reacted to his comment said he keeps “embarrassing the church”.

Sources within the church however disclosed that he was made to stand before a three-man panel.

“Leke Adeboye was made to face a panel today (Wednesday) for insulting pastors and calling them goats. The three-man panel, unfortunately, did not punish him or ask him to apologise. One of the members of the panel is his father-in-law.

“He arrogantly told off the panel that he cannot apologise. And what did they do? They only told him to not repeat it again,” the sources claimed.

In what appears to be a U-turn, Leke Adeboye on Thursday posted an apology on his Instagram page.

Leke wrote: “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.

“The disciplinary measures taken by the mission is well received and this period will be used to reflect and retrospect.

“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.”
