Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has reacted to an AI-generated image showing him as an Alhaji.

The term “Alhaji” refers to a man who has completed the Hajj, a holy pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia.

During the first Holy Ghost Night of 2025 in the early hours of Saturday, Adeboye acknowledged the viral image. “I’m sure many of you saw that picture showing me as an Alhaji,” he said.

Church Times Nigeria reported on the event, which was held under the auspices of RCCG. Adeboye’s response reflects his awareness of the image’s circulation and impact among followers.
