Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has described the General Overseer, Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, as an excellent coach.
He does this as the veteran and highly influential cleric clocks 80 years on Wednesday.
Abubakar in statement issued by his Media Office on Tuesday in Abuja, described Adeboye as a distinguished and rare breed preacher of the Christian faith.
He also said Adeboye was an uncommon shepherd and a father figure, who by exemplary acts teaches his followers and mentees to live purposefully.
“Pastor Adeboye is a great man worthy of emulation, an astute teacher, an excellent coach and an exceptional role model who has inspired millions across the world and continues to be a shining light of the Christian faith.
“I celebrate with you as you turn 80 years old on Wednesday.
“You continue to inspire millions of people across the world with your infectious virtue of humility and unique insight into the word of God,” he said.
Abubakar wished the general overseer many more years of good health and faithfulness in the service of God.
