It is rumored that Pastor Adeboye’s relationship with then President Goodluck Jonathan was the reason Nigeria abstained from voting for a Palestinian State in the United Nations Security Council in 2014. Nigeria was supposed to be the 9th vote needed to block the US veto on the resolution. With Nigeria's abstention, the motion failed with only 8 votes.
