The Governor said Pastor Adeboye, who served as the second National President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, has raised millions of committed followers of Jesus Christ within the Redeemed Christian Church of God and outside the church.
He said: “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.
Pastor Adeboye’s relentless prayers for Lagos State and 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 popularly 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 put Nigeria in the global spotlight as a land of spiritual exploits and greatness. “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 prayed.
