Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has congratulated Pastor E.A Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), on his 80th birthday.
Pastor Adeboye turned 80 years old today, March 2, 2022, according to Anaedoonline.ng, and has been getting celebratory greetings from all around the world.
Osinbajo characterized Adeboye as a leader with a geographical and spiritual reach of influence in a congratulatory statement published by his media adviser, Laolu Akande.

According to Osinbajo, the RCCG General Overseer has influenced countless lives and achieved unprecedented development for the church, and he is “very proud” to call him “Daddy.”
Despite his many accomplishments, the vice president remarked that the RCCG leader has led an exemplary life and has remained humble to this day.
Osinbajo recounted how Adeboye was named one of the world’s 100 most important individuals in 2002 and has remained one of the world’s most powerful religious leaders ever since.
“On Daddy’s 80th birthday, Dolapo and I are privileged to write this homage to him,” he stated.
“Very few leaders will ever have the geographical and spiritual reach of influence that Pastor E.A. Adeboye has. He is neither the Pope nor the leader of the free world, but he heads a denomination that, since his assumption of office as its General Overseer, has established churches in over 198 countries and territories of the world.

“He was, as early as 2008, listed by Newsweek, as one of the 100 most influential people in the world. Earlier in 1998, the Holy Ghost Congress of the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Lekki, Lagos, was reported to be one of the largest Christian gatherings ever, and every year, the RCCG Conventions and Congresses have live crowds breaking that record. Through the years, miracles of every kind have been commonplace in his ministry.
“But the moral of the story is not in these achievements, but in how his behaviour has remained unaffected by them.
“It was Mummy G.O. who said to us once, ‘see how God uses your father as a smokescreen to do the miracles He wants to do’. This realization, that ‘apart from Him, you can do nothing’ and that ‘no one can receive anything that is not given to him by God,’ probably explains why a man so spiritually and intellectually gifted, so revered, so respected by the high and low alike, would still be so genuinely humble, so self-effacing and so unfailingly respectful, even of his subordinates.

“His impeccable integrity, his measured speech and action at all times, his life of many challenges, many wars, his courage, his unshaken faith, his deep love for God, through phenomenal achievements and numbing personal tragedy, are all together the most persuasive evangelical message to all, even those of other faiths, of the grace and mercy of God in the life of the Saved,” Osinbajo said.
“Daddy, Happy 80th Birthday! As your days, so shall your strength, wisdom and favour with God in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
