The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has expressed his regret at missing the installation of the national coordinator of the Oodua Peoples Congress, Otunba Gani Adams, as the 15th Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yoruba land.
Adeboye, in a letter to Adams, dated January 17, 2018 and obtained by journalists on Monday, January 22, however congratulated Gani Adams who was installed on January 13 at the Durbar Stadium in Oyo town, Oyo State.
The cleric attributed his absence to the work of evangelism both within and outside Nigeria.
The letter reads, “Grace be unto you and peace from God our Father. We greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth. We congratulate you on your installation as the 15th Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yoruba land.
“We regret our inability to attend. Constraints include scheduled annual commitments year in year out at home and abroad. Be assured of our continuous love and prayers.”

Adams, who is also the founder of the Oodua Progressive Union, was installed on January 13, 2018.
The Aare had worshipped at the Ijo Orunmila Adulawo in Ebute Meta, Lagos where the Chief Priest, Awodiran Agboola, demanded that the Federal Government should give traditional worshippers more attention and support.
Adams, who arrived at about 11.15 am, with his wife, children, relatives and members of the Oodua Peoples Congress in a convoy of about 20 vehicles, said he had to be liberal with the three prominent religions in Nigeria.
A statement issued by Adams’ Chief of Staff, Segun Akanni, said the visit was part of the activities to praise God for the successful hosting of his installation.
Adams said, “I’m here today to worship with you and also to identify with you because my position is purely a traditional title. But I have to be liberal with the three prominent religions we practise in the country.
