Popular Nigerian Disc Jockey, Obianuju Udeh, also known as DJ Switch, expressed her opinion that the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) serves as a political wing of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). She shared her views in a post on social media on August 4, 2024, sparking a heated discussion among her followers and the broader public.
DJ Switch's post criticized the perceived political involvement of the RCCG, suggesting that the church's activities and leadership are closely aligned with the APC's interests. This statement has added fuel to ongoing debates about the role of religious institutions in Nigerian politics and the influence they wield in shaping political narratives.
The RCCG, one of Nigeria's largest and most influential churches, has faced similar accusations in the past, primarily due to the political engagements of some of its prominent members and leaders. Despite this, the church has consistently maintained that its mission is focused on spiritual growth and community development, rather than political affiliations.
DJ Switch's comments have elicited a range of reactions from the public, with some individuals supporting her stance and others defending the church's independence from political parties.
DJ Switch wrote;
‘’If by now, you still don’t believe that RCCG is a useless political wing of this useless APC, then I really don’t know what to tell you.
One day, I hope Nigerians will find for themselves what they are looking for in churches.
PS:
Your blessings are in the policies of your country, state, local govt etc. and not in the church or your pastor.
Your general safety is in the efficiency of your nation’s protection services and not in the church.
Your progress is in the availability of employment and access to finance to build businesses and not in the church and one more… your potential for growing wealth is in YOUR ability to understand how money works and investing that money in order for that money to work for you and not in sowing seeds or tithes!
Unfortunately, many of you will be lifetime casts in the smash hit, “LIVING IN BONDAGE.”
