Tinubu further lauded the influence of the renowned religious leader by teaching the Word of Faith, which the president said has stimulated the entrepreneurial spirit and reawakened a new movement for growth in Nigeria, Africa, and beyond.
Tinubu stated: “I believe Bishop Oyedepo has consistently brought glory to the country with his teachings, publications, and World-Wide Missionary service and sought the betterment of the people by counselling leaders in the private and public sectors.
“I share the joy of celebrations with the Presiding Bishop, his wife, Faith Abiola, and all the biological and spiritual children.”
He prayed to God for “greater heights in the ministry” just as he prayed for the cleric’s physical, mental, and spiritual well-being “as he continues to serve the nation and humanity”.
