The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of
God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, says the naira will regain its strength among the
league of currencies.
He stated this on Saturday morning during the Church’s
annual Holy Ghost Congress held at the RCCG International Headquarters along
the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
The 78-year-old cleric prayed to God
to intervene in Nigeria’s financial sector and change the hearts of
policymakers who deliberately devalue the naira.
While sharing a testimony on instant financial breakthrough,
Adeboye recalled that he had needed N5,000 some decades ago during the Church’s
inaugural Convention. According to him, the naira was powerful then and N5,000
was a lot of money.
Adeboye said, “During our first Convention here at the
Redemption Camp, I was bold, I asked everybody to come, free feeding. They
came, I ran out of money. My wife came to me in the morning, ‘Sir, we need
N5,000.’
“Naira was powerful then. It will become powerful again. Those who are deliberately devaluing our naira, before tomorrow morning, God will intervene.
“So, my wife said we needed N5,000. I asked her, ‘Do you
need it today or later?’ She said today. I didn’t have a kobo. I told her to
go. I cried to God that I needed a breakthrough. It wasn’t long after that, one
man drove in, he wasn’t a member of the church.
“He asked what’s going on and we said we are having a
Convention. And then, he put his hands in his pocket and brought out an
envelope with some money.
“I then called on my wife and asked her, ‘How much do you
say you need?’”
The PUNCH had earlier reported that naira exchanged to the
dollar at 490/$ in the parallel market this week after it had sold for N500
last week.
The Bureau De Change operators had attributed the
devaluation the naira is currently experiencing to speculative activities of
some operators.
The Central Bank of Nigeria, however, retained the official
exchange rate at N379/$ on its website.
