The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, on Wednesday congratulated the founder and Presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide based in Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria, Bishop David Olaniyi Oyedepo on his 69th birthday anniversary.
Obi, in a statement by his Media aide, described Bishop Oyedepo as a great clergy who is forthright and courageous in his spread of the message of salvation.
“Obi, on behalf of his family, joined millions of his followers and admirers worldwide to celebrate with him as marks his 69th birthday today.
“Obi noted that he deserved all the accolades especially, for the many ways God has continued to use him to positively impact our society, particularly our generation.”
According to the former Anambra State Governor, “Oyedepo has stood out courageously as a fearless soldier of Christ as he has demonstrated enormous wisdom and consistency in speaking against the many ills that pervade our society.
“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. Through your other business ventures, you have also provided jobs to thousands of Nigerians and contributed to national productivity.”
Obi prayed to God to continue to protect, bless, and grant him 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.
