Governor Sanwo-Olu felicitates RCCG leader Adeboye at 84
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has congratulated Enoch Adeboye, the general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, on his 84th birthday.
Mr Sanwo-Olu, in a statement, described the revered cleric who clocked 84 on Monday as a respected global preacher.
He noted that Adeboye’s unblemished record of service in God’s kingdom over several decades had made him a role model to many religious leaders and Christians.
The governor also described the renowned cleric as an epitome of honesty, dedication and selfless service, adding that as the second National President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, he had raised millions of committed followers of Jesus Christ within the RCCG and beyond.
“Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye is a true ambassador of God. He has been a blessing not just to the Redeemed Christian Church of God but also to us in Lagos State and the country,” Mr Sanwo-Olu said.
According to him, Mr Adeboye’s relentless prayers for Lagos and his wise counsel over the years have contributed in no small measure to the phenomenal progress the state has continued to witness.
“Daddy GO’, as Pastor Adeboye is fondly called, is one of the respected global evangelists who has contributed immensely to the propagation of the gospel at national and international levels without any blemish or scandal,” Mr Sanwo-Olu explained. “His devoted service in God’s vineyard has helped to put Nigeria in the global spotlight as a land of spiritual exploits and greatness.”
