President Goodluck Jonathan has written to extol the virtues of General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, who clocks 73 today.
A statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, noted that the president, in a congratulatory message, said the productive spiritual leadership which Adeboye had continued to provide for members of his church and Christians in Nigeria was laudable.
Thanking the cleric for the prayerful support which he has been giving his government, Jonathan said he had always come out strengthened and greatly inspired from every meeting he holds with Adeboye.
Wishing the pastor a happy birthday celebration, the president said, “It gives me great pleasure to felicitate with you on the occasion of your 73rd birthday. “Our administration and the Nigerian nation owe you a debt of gratitude for your prayerful support and the productive spiritual leadership you continue to provide, not just for the millions that constitute the membership of the Redeemed Christian Church of God across the world, but also for the entire body of Christ in Nigeria. “On a personal level, I have left every meeting with you greatly strengthened and deeply inspired by your steadfast faith and commitment to the peace, stability, growth and development of our dear nation.
“I pray that Almighty God continues to imbue you with robust health and enduring fulfillment in the many more years of worthy service ahead of you”.
