In a joint message dated March 1, 2026, the President and the First Lady described Pastor Adeboye as “one of our nation’s greatest gifts,” hailing him as “a spiritual fortress, interceding for Nigeria and its people to God Almighty.”

They noted that his humility and wisdom have remained defining traits throughout decades of ministry and national influence.

“His humility is genuine, and his wisdom runs deep beyond the ordinary,” the statement read.

The presidential couple stressed that Pastor Adeboye’s contributions extend far beyond the pulpit, pointing to his impact in philanthropy, healthcare, education and economic empowerment initiatives across the country.

“We celebrate the grace of stewardship and leadership upon the life of Pastor Adeboye, fondly called Daddy G.O., as he marks his 84th birthday on March 2, 2026,” they stated.

President Tinubu and the First Lady congratulated the cleric and joined his wife, Pastor Foluke Adeboye, members of the RCCG and the wider Body of Christ in giving thanks for what they described as “an exceptional life of impact that transcends cultures and borders.”

They particularly acknowledged his long-standing prayers for Nigeria and his patriotic commitment to national development.

“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,” the statement added.
