If there is any child of a popular Pastor in Nigeria who has constantly made news headline week in, week out, especially in the last few weeks, it’s no other person than the Redeemed Christian Church of God General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye last son, Leke. He is just 38 years old but he has grown to become an integral part of his father dynasty.
A weeks days back, the young man celebrated his 38th birthday and his father prayed for him in a video that went viral for days. Since his father, Pastor Adeboye, publicly blessed him on the day he celebrated 38th, he has further gained more popularity all over the world.
Again, last week his popularity was put to test when he posted a photo of himself in face cap and that generated a lot of comments among Nigerians. One of those who condemned his mode of dressing is popular Evangelist Victor Edet, who said, ”I was shocked and shut of word’s after seeing this picture, how can a Pastor be wearing a face cap this way? God of mercy, what is the church turning into? Leke Adeboye should be cautioned seriously and he should be called to order. You can’t be a Pastor and be dressing like a gangster.”
Although, many Nigerians didn’t see it that way. One of those who supported him is popular OAP Daddy Freeze, as he sees nothing wrong of his dressing.
