“Even at 75, he is still carrying on strong and spreading the gospel of Christ at every given opportunity.”
Governor Ambode, while wishing him a happy 75th birthday, also prayed that the Almighty God will grant Pastor Adeboye long life and more strength to continue to be a role model to the body of Christ.
