Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has celebrated the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, as the latter turned 80.
Point News247 reports that the governor celebrated the Christian leader via a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Gboyega Akosile.
Governor 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.
