The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has appealed to Nigerians not to engage in reprisal attacks against South-Africans following the violence which trailed the wave of xenophobia in South Africa.<\/p>\n
Adeboye made the appeal in his sermon on Friday night at the September Holy Ghost Service at the Redemption Camp on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, NAN reports.<\/p>\n
Adeboye stated that an average South-African is a decent person.<\/p>\n
He likened the situation in South-Africa to the period of unrest in Nigerian universities in which only a handful of students usually engaged in trouble making.<\/p>\n
According to the popular cleric, bringing Nigerians back home is not the solution to the problem.<\/p>\n
He urged Nigerians to allow the government to handle the issue.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet us leave this job to the government. Let them solve this problem at the governmental level.<\/p>\n
\u201d Pray for them that God will give them wisdom, understanding and ability to do it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
There was an overwhelming support for Adeboye\u2019s appeal when he called for a voice vote on the matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
