Prof. Osinbajo said the clergy, Dr Badejo was a promoter of the gospel, who worked for both the physical and spiritual transformation of societies.

The VP noted that the late Badejo “was also someone who believed that the gospel is for social transformation, besides the spiritual. And he carried the message that the gospel is meant to transform societies and the people physically, as well as spiritually. He was one of a kind.”
Prof. Osinbajo also wrote a short tribute in the condolence register at the residence.
“We bless the name of the Lord for the life and times of one of His generals, our father in the Lord, Revd. Dr. Wilson Badejo. We thank him for the great work of the gospel that he did and we now celebrate such an excellent life of service. Blessed be the name of the lord,” the VP’s message read.
While praying for God to console and strengthen the family, Prof. Osinbajo also prayed God to preserve the legacy left by the late man of God, noting that “he has left a great legacy indeed. A tremendous legacy that we are proud of.”
Late Badejo was General Overseer of the Foursquare Gospel Church between 1999 to 2009.
