“Aside from your dutiful preaching of the gospel of salvation, you have also continued to contribute meaningfully to national development by investing heavily in education – a very critical ingredient for national development.

Obi prayed to God to continue to protect, bless and grant Oyedepo more healthy and fruitful years ahead as he continues to serve God’s humanity.

The LP standard bearer finally charged the bishop not to relent in praying for our dear nation for God’s divine intervention.
