Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, has justified his purchase of a private jet saying it is necessary for his work.

counterparts in U.S and elsewhere to determine the origin o the their come.
And also to verify that approprite national taxation on luxury is paid .

The only thing i hav in mind is that, they should do what is right for the
progress of this country..............u leaders of this country do it well
today,so that we can start frm there tommorrow.
