Pastor Adeboye At 80, His Behind The Scene Role In Buhari’s Health Scare

Nigeria’s most celebrated Pastor Enoch Adejare Abeboye is a year older.

The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) General Overseer attains the age of 80 today, March 2, 2022.

Congratulatory messages from far and near started pouring in for the husband of Pastor Folu from yesterday, March 1, 2022.

President Muhammadu Buhari started the charge of the influx of felicitations bursting at the seams

The President’s congratulatory message significantly touched on the kind of a person Pastor Adeboye is and hinted at the role the successor of the founder of RCCG, Josiah Olufemi Akindayomi played in one of the defining periods of the nation’s history.

“The President recalls his private and public meetings with the renowned preacher and teacher of the Bible over many years, most remarkably the visit when he was recuperating in London, 2017, appreciating Pastor Adeboye’s warmth and friendliness, which he also extends to leaders and others from all walks of life” the President’s goodwill message signed by Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity stated in part.

SocietyNow.Ng’s checks revealed that the reference is a glimpse into powerful marathon prayers – including – fasting for the President’s recovery.

While some men of God were playing to the gallery with all manner of predictions and politicians were trying to leverage gloomy projections to advance their cause(s), SocietyNow.Ng gathered that Pastor Adeboye and some “like-minded” men of faith carefully chosen were engaged in intense prayers for the President to get well.

And Pastor Adeboye was provided access for personal “contact”.

The President’s health scare episode of 2017 – two years after he was sworn into office – lasted about 51 days and Pastor Adeboye and the team of religious leaders were unrelenting in their fasting and prayer SocietyNow.Ng gathered.

“The President and those around him found this remarkable because aside from the difference in religious standings, Osinbajo who is the Vice President and in pole position to “inherit” government is not just a RCCG Pastor but a favored son of Pastor Adeboye” SocietyNow.Ng gathered.

The added information available to SocietyNow.Ng has it that the President learned that the Vice President facilitated the “intervention” by Pastor Adeboye and the team of men of faith and was also involved in the marathon fasting and prayer with his wife, Dolapo cemented ties with Osinbajo beyond measures.

SocietyNow.Ng gathered that the episode massively changed President Buhari’s perception of Pastor Adeboye.

And the President in his 80th birthday message to Pastor Adeboye “salutes the focus of the RCCG leader on works of the Kingdom and peace for the nation, praying that his path will be like a shining light, with grace for good health and strength.”
