22. Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye

Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye is Pastor and General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God. This church has branches in close to 200 nations and territories, including 40,000 in Nigeria and 10,000 across the world, and serves 9 million members globally. He was recognized as one of the 50 most powerful people in the world by Newsweek magazine. For more than 20 years, Pastor Adeboye has led countless delegations to Israel, donated ambulances to Magen David Adom, and created a business forum for Nigerian and Israeli businesses to further their collaboration. It is rumored that Pastor Adeboye’s relationship with former President Goodluck Jonathan was the reason that 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.
