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,” Sanwo-Olu said.

According to him, Adeboye’s relentless prayers for Lagos State 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.

”His devoted service in God’s vineyard has helped to put Nigeria in the global spotlight as a land of spiritual exploits and greatness.”

Sanwo-Olu prayed that God would grant the cleric more grace and strength to continue spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ and impacting lives positively.

”As Pastor E.A. Adeboye celebrates his 84th birthday, I pray that the Almighty God will grant him more grace and strength to continue to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ and impact many lives positively,” he added. (NAN)
