Son of RCCG General Overseer Pastor E.A. Adeboye, Leke Adeboye has come out to say that he believes the coronavirus restrictions on churches will be gone by next year.

He recently revealed this on his Instagram page, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, he is of this opinion because election is coming nearer, and all restrictions placed on church activities will be removed to appease Christians before election days arrive.

He added that Nigerian politicians only become strong church members when elections are around the corner.

His words,

LOL.
