President Bola Tinubu and his wife, Oluremi Tinubu, have extended warm greetings to Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, as he marks his 84th birthday on March 2, 2026.
In a joint statement released on Sunday, the presidential couple described Pastor Adeboye as one of Nigeria’s greatest gifts and a spiritual fortress who faithfully intercedes for the nation and its people to God Almighty.
Tinubu and Oluremi Tinubu said Adeboye’s humility is genuine and his wisdom runs deep beyond the ordinary.
They noted that his contributions to Nigeria extend far beyond the pulpit where he ministers to souls, encompassing philanthropy, healthcare, education and economic empowerment.
The presidential message celebrated the grace of stewardship and leadership evident in Adeboye’s life over many decades and congratulated him alongside his wife, Pastor Foluke Adeboye, members of the RCCG and the wider Christian community.
Tinubu and the First Lady thanked the cleric for his unceasing prayers for national unity and progress and commended his patriotic zeal, manifest determination and steadfast commitment to the country’s development.
As the anniversary is marked, they prayed for continued good health, strength and divine guidance for Pastor Adeboye to continue his work in the Lord’s vineyard, recognising that his teachings over five decades have transformed countless lives within Nigeria and internationally.
