Jackson Ukuevo, the Chief Executive Officer, CEO, of Ronchess Global Resources Plc., has debunked publications linking Ademola, the son of Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, to an N88 billion ‘abandoned’ road contract in Kaduna State.
Ukuevo described the publication as malicious, misleading, irresponsible and libelous and demanded its retraction.
In a statement made available to the news media, the CEO states: “The attention of the Management of Ronchess Global Resources Plc. (hereinafter referred to as “Ronchess” or “the Company”) has been drawn to an online publication published by Sahara Reporters on the 28th of August, 2024. While the company finds it needless and inessential to join issues with the authors of the publication, it would, however, be necessary to put the facts straight in a bid not to mislead the public.”
He added that the misinformation about Ronchess Global Resources Plc. and Pastor Adeolu Adeboye is troubling and unwarranted hence the need to clarify that Pastor Adeolu is not the owner or a shareholder in the company.
“The ongoing legal actions between Ronchess and the Kaduna State Government, are rooted in a civil contract dispute – nothing more.
“While Pastor Adeolu Adeboye serves as one of our directors, it’s crucial to clarify that he was never awarded any contract and neither did he nor Ronchess abandoned any contract. He also did not receive any funds from the Kaduna State Government.
“Recent libellous publications by @SaharaReporter suggesting otherwise are false and appear to be part of a deliberate effort to tarnish his reputation and the Ronchess brand. Ronchess remains committed to delivering quality work and upholding transparency in all our dealings,” he said.
The Ronchess boss noted that Pastor Adeolu Adeboye had not even joined Ronchess as at the time the contracts were awarded and executed.
“The said Pastor Adeolu Adeboye being attacked in the Sahara Reporters’ Publication at no time and point collected money to execute any contract for the Kaduna State Government,” the statement read in part.
‘In fact, Pastor Adeolu Adeboye was not even instrumental to the award of the contracts.
“He (Pastor Adeolu) was neither a Board member nor a Shareholder of Ronchess at the time the contract was awarded to Ronchess.
“As erroneously painted by Sahara Reporters, the person referred to as Pastor Adeolu Adeboye’s wife (i.e. Miss. Adebimpe Adeboye) is not even related to Pastor Adeolu. In fact, Pastor Adeolu’s wife is neither a Director in Ronchess nor secured any contract for Ronchess.
“It is manifestly clear that the publication is aimed at maligning and denigrating the names and persons of Pastor Enoch Adeboye and Pastor Adeolu Adeboye, who was not even a Board member of Ronchess at all material times relevant to the award of the contracts.
“While we admit that Pastor Adeolu Adeboye is presently a firector in Ronchess, it must, however, be stated that Ronchess is a legal entity duly registered in Nigeria with full legal capacity.
“Pastor Adeolu Adeboye being a Nigerian like you and I, is allowed by Nigerian laws to participate in any legitimate business he so desires.
“Ronchess indeed executed several contracts in Kaduna State that transformed the state and it is entitled to be paid as such. Imperative to state is that there is a huge difference between a company as a legal entity and its directors and as a matter of fact, Pastor Adeolu Adeboye is not the only director of the company. The entire facts culminating into the directors’ persecution is purely civil in nature.
“In view of the spurious allegations in the Sahara Reporters’ publication, the company and its directors have contacted its legal representative to know their rights under the law. We shall in due course respond to this libelous publication after deliberations with our legal team.”
Ukuevo enumerated all the details of the contracts in the statement, asserting that the contract was at no time abandoned, given the level of work either done or ongoing on each phase of the contracts.
