Buhari hails Adeboye at 74

Pastor EA Adeboye, General Overseer of RCCG

President Muhammadu Buhari has warmly congratulated the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, as he turns 74 years on 2 March, 2016.

The President said he believes the revered Christian leader, who paid him a courtesy call at the Presidential Villa on 16 February, 2016 and whom he had interacted with many times before, epitomizes the virtues of honesty, peace, patience, contentment, humility and diligence, which are the trademarks of a good believer.

Buhari said he commends the relentless efforts, sacrifices and the grace of God upon the life of the General Overseer, who, as a Christian leader, has over the years propagated the gospel around the world, organized large gathering of Christian worshipers and consistently counselled leaders and their citizens on living right before God.

The President said, besides preaching the gospel, he salutes the social and humanitarian interventions of the RCCG leader in providing health and educational services to complement the efforts of governments.

He said he prays that “the Almighty God will grant Pastor Adeboye long life and more strength to carry on the good work.”
