The General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, popularly known as Daddy G.O has revealed that the new Soun of Ogbomoso, Oba Afolabi Ghandi Olaoye, was destined to be a king even before he was born.

He said, “To my critics, if I said no and God said yes, whose word is the final, God of course, so I cannot stop him because Pastor Ghandi was destined to be a king even before he was born and thank God it is coming to fruition.”
Adeboye, who took his scripture from the book of Act 15:18, advised the monarch to embrace the people and promote peace and unity among his subjects. He subsequently anointed the king and his wife, praying for a peaceful and prosperous reign as Soun.
