A video capturing the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, aka Daddy GO, at a thanksgiving service for former Ogun state governor Otunba Gbenga Daniel on Monday, April 6, 2026, has gone viral on social media.
The short clip showed the cleric walking from the altar area to the pulpit while being supported by his son, Leke Adeboye, at Abraham Tabernacle, Sagamu, Ogun state.
However, the highlight that caused a stir on social media was the moment Adeboye appeared to bow in what appeared to be an honour to the tradition and sacredness of the church where the thanksgiving service took place.
According to PUNCH, Adeboye, who ministered at the event, described the former governor of Ogun and senator representing Ogun East, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, as “quite an exceptional politician and original Omoluwabi”.
Aside from Pastor Adeboye, other prominent figures in attendance, including former President Olusegun Obasanjo, represented by his wife, Bola Obasanjo, Ademola Adeleke, Olubadan of Ibadan and Oba Rasheed Ladoja.

NdukaNoelIkem commented:
"When the big Churches use a symbol of white jesus on the cross. This is pure Baal worship oh, run oh! They have theological schools that teach only prosperity no research into the the truth. They seem to skip parts of the Bible that speak to colour and features of the real Jews."

"You don't have to be very close to this baba to find out his love for power and people in power. Joseph was sought after. He was not desperate to be with the high and mighty. Selflessness is a prerequisite for any servant. Unfortunately, we have masters in place of servants."
