The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has used Maryam Shetty’s ordeal to preach during Sunday service.

Recall that Shetty was one of the ministerial nominees, dropped and replaced by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

At the National Assembly, on Friday, August 5, Shetty learned that a new ministerial nominee, Mariya Bunkure, had replaced her and would face the senate for screening and confirmation.

Delivering his sermon on Sunday, August 6th, 2023, during the RCCG Thanksgiving Service, Pastor Adeboye said, "When God promotes you, you don't need screening."

This was made known in a video shared by a Twitter user, Eniola Akinkuotu @ENIBOY on Sunday, August 6, and sighted by Legit.ng.

@ENIBOY wrote: "Pastor Adeboye has used Maryam Shetty’s ordeal to preach this morning.

"She was nominated by Tinubu for a ministerial job and on getting to the Senate, she was told her ministerial nomination had been withdrawn without an apology.
Some “promotions” are a trap for disgrace."

In the video, Adeboye said, "Not from the east, not from the west, not from the south, God is the judge of according to Psalm 75 verses 6 &7, God is a judge, he is a promoter. When God promotes you, you are promoted.

"I was listening to the news, and I heard of someone who had been nominated for a ministerial appointment, and she got to the senate, where she was to be screened, only to be told 'your name has been withdrawn'.

"That is not my God. When my God promotes you, you are promoted. When he promotes you, you don't need any screening."

Shetty, a ministerial nominee from Kano state, was at the Senate for screening on Friday, August 4, when she got the news of being dropped as a ministerial nominee and replaced.

Dr. Mariya Mahmoud Bunkure replaced Shetty at the National Assembly.

President Bola Tinubu sent another communication to the Senate, announcing the withdrawal of the nomination of Maryam Shetty and replacing her with Mairiga Mahmud.

In the new correspondence, the president also nominated Festus Keyamo, a former minister under ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, to represent Delta State.

Keyamo also served as the spokesperson of the Bola Tinubu presidential campaign council in the build-up to the February 25 presidential election.
