President Bola Tinubu on Sunday congratulated the President of LoveWorld Incorporated (Christ Embassy), Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, on his 62nd birthday, commending what he described as the clergyman’s global influence and humanitarian work.
The President’s message was contained in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
Tinubu hailed Oyakhilome’s “rare gift of insight and charity,” saying his central message of love reflects the teachings of Jesus Christ.
He added that the preacher’s work had “changed the face of ministry in Nigeria and beyond.”
The statement read, “President Tinubu extols the charismatic religious leader and teacher of the Word for his rare gift of insight and charity.
“The President notes that the cardinal message of Pastor Chris’ ministry is love, just as exemplified by Jesus Christ.
“President Tinubu acknowledges the global influence of the teachings and ministry of the clergyman, describing his impact as changing the face of ministry in Nigeria and beyond.”
Tinubu also acknowledged the pastor’s long-running welfare and relief initiatives through the church, noting that he had “demonstrated love” by supporting vulnerable groups over the years.
