The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on
Wednesday celebrated the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of
God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, as the latter turned 80.
In a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Gboyega
Akosile, Sanwo-Olu noted that the foremost cleric has greatly contributed to
the progress of the state.
Sanwo-Olu, in the birthday wish, also prayed for longer life
and good health for the cleric, fondly called ‘Daddy GO’.
The governor said, “Sir, you have been a blessing, not just
to the Redeemed Christian Church of God, but also to us in Lagos State – your
unceasing prayers for us and your wise counsel over the years have contributed
in no small measure to the phenomenal progress our state has continued to
witness.
“We will forever be grateful. We cannot also ever forget
your commitment to the Lagos State Annual Thanksgiving Service since the year
2000.
“Because of your work, and of the name and legacy of the
RCCG, the gospel has touched the very ends of the earth, in line with the Great
Commission.
“In addition, your devoted service in God’s Vineyard has
helped put Nigeria in the global spotlight, as a land of spiritual exploits and
greatness.
“Yet, amidst all these wonderful accomplishments, you have
remained as simple and humble as ever, never seeking the limelight or personal
glory.
“As you celebrate
your 80th birthday, it is our prayer that the Almighty God will grant you more
grace and strength to continue to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ, minister
to the poor and the broken, and proclaim liberty to the captives.
“I pray that the Almighty God will continue to crown you
with good health to enable you render more service to His kingdom and you will
continue to enjoy His manifold blessings and everlasting goodness. Amen. Happy
Birthday, Sir.”
Celebrating Adeboye’s wife, the governor said, “Let me also
specially congratulate our Mummy, your adorable wife, and devoted partner,
Pastor (Mrs.) Foluke Adeboye, and thank her for the great support and love she
has continued to give to you.
“I pray that God will continue to keep her strong and
vibrant on this lifelong journey of jointly manifesting the fullness of His
power and anointing.”
