The statement, described by church officials as both resolute and necessary, addressed what the RCCG termed persistent narratives it believes have distorted its record and public engagement over time.
The leadership insisted that the organisation remains committed to transparency, spiritual service, and community development across Nigeria and beyond.
In the statement, Pastor Adeboye adopted a defiant tone, urging restraint in the spread of unverified claims and calling for greater responsibility in public discourse concerning religious institutions.
The RCCG reject false claims message was presented as a clarification rather than a confrontation, though its language reflected clear frustration over repeated allegations.
Church representatives also highlighted ongoing charitable and outreach initiatives, pointing to education support schemes, healthcare interventions, and youth empowerment programmes as evidence of sustained social impact.
These activities, they argued, are often overshadowed by what they described as misleading commentary circulating in some public spaces.
The situation underscores a broader tension between prominent religious organisations and sections of public discourse, particularly in an era where information spreads rapidly across digital platforms.
Observers note that such disputes increasingly shape perceptions of major faith institutions.
