Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has pledged to be present at Bishop David Oyedepo’s 90th birthday, expressing his hopes to live to 107.
Obasanjo made this declaration during Oyedepo’s 70th birthday celebration, which took place at the Faith Tabernacle in Ota, Ogun State, on Friday, September 27.
Obasanjo addressed members of the Living Faith Church, fondly recalling his connection to Oyedepo and the Ota community.
He acclaimed Oyedepo’s transition into the ranks of septuagenarians and offered heartfelt words of encouragement.
“Today you are joining the club of Septuagenarians; from Septuagenarian, you will become Octogenarian, and I will be here. From Octogenarian, you will become Nonagenarian, and I will be here,” Obasanjo said.
The former president, who would be 107 when Oyedepo turns 90, joined with a smile, “After that, I will leave you alone, and God will be with you.”
Reflecting on his longstanding relationship with Ota, Obasanjo reminisced about his farming journey in the area, which began in 1979.
This further highlighted his deep ties to the region where Oyedepo’s church is based.
