President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, have paid glowing tribute to Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), on the occasion of his 84th birthday.
In a statement released on Sunday, the President described Pastor Adeboye as “one of our nation’s greatest gifts” and a “spiritual fortress” who continually intercedes for Nigeria and its people.
“Pastor Enoch Adeboye is one of our nation’s greatest gifts: a spiritual fortress, interceding for Nigeria and its people to God Almighty,” the statement read.
The President praised the cleric’s humility and depth of wisdom, noting that his impact extends beyond the pulpit to philanthropy, healthcare, education and economic empowerment.
“His humility is genuine, and his wisdom runs deep beyond the ordinary. His contributions to our nation extend beyond the pulpit, where he ministers to souls, to philanthropy, healthcare, education, and economic empowerment,” he said.
Tinubu said the nation celebrates the grace of stewardship and leadership upon the life of the revered cleric, fondly known as Daddy G.O., as he marks his 84th birthday on March 2, 2026.
“We congratulate him and join his wife, Pastor Foluke, members of the RCCG, and the Body of Christ in gratitude to God for the General Overseer’s exceptional life of impact that transcends cultures and borders.
“We thank the Lord’s own servant for his unceasing prayers for our nation and commend his patriotic zeal, manifest determination and commitment to Nigeria’s progress.
“We also acknowledge the unique leadership role of the renowned clergyman, whose teachings over the past five decades continue to shape and transform lives across generations in the country and beyond.
“As Daddy G.O. celebrates this special day, we pray that God Almighty continue to bless him with good health and strength as he continues his good work in the Lord’s vineyard,” the statement added.
