“He’s not supposed to nominate his successor. But, we agree now that maybe the church already has agreed on their successor.”“So remuneration committee- you cannot determine your own salary, even your work place, then you now have audit committee- you cannot audit yourself. So if you are General Overseer of Redeemed, for instance, and you are in charge of these three governance positions. You know the way Redeemed is structured from the start, it is a church that the Audit committee is headed by G.O, the remuneration and nomination committee is headed by G.O.“He is the one that audits people; he is the one that appoints people; and he is the one that determines salaries.“So the act says that if you have occupied this governance position and you have been there for more 20 years or you have attained 70 years of age you can no longer do that.“ You can be chairman board of trustees; so you now become the spiritual leader but you can’t be somebody who will be responsible for operations.
“It was a frightening situation … but people remained calm because it didn’t get out of that space and nobody became hysterical. Some people got up to see what kind of reptile it was, but nobody got carried away.”
