Bode George instructs Adeboye to direct the 90‑day order to Tinubu, not the service chiefs.

Former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bode George, has urged the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, to direct President Bola Tinubu to halt insecurity within 90 days or resign, rather than instructing the service chiefs.

George said it is inappropriate for Adeboye to demand that the service chiefs resign within 90 days if they fail to curb insecurity, arguing that the responsibility lies with Tinubu, not the chiefs.

In a sermon, Adeboye expressed sorrow over Nigeria’s escalating insecurity.

In a statement released on Friday, George criticized the cleric’s approach.

He stated, “No one is saying that Pastor Adeboye should be in charge of the Commander‑in‑Chief. That is not possible. The advice should be given to the President, not the service chiefs. He is the person responsible for ensuring all Nigerians are protected and safe.”

“It’s as if someone from outside the newsroom is telling the line editors that they need to secure exclusive stories for the front page, or else they should leave their job within 90 days. That isn’t someone from outside doing it. That is the work of the Daily Editor.”

“If there are no stories to sell, the newspaper won’t have anything to offer, and if the editor isn’t strong enough to get the line editors to work properly, then it will be the editor who has to look for a job in the labor market. Simple.”

“Tinubu appointed the service chiefs. If they aren’t performing, he can tell them they have to improve or he can let them go.”
