Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has expressed his confidence in being alive to witness the 90th birthday celebration of Bishop David Oyedepo, founder of the Living Faith Church.
Speaking during Oyedepo’s 70th birthday celebration at the Faith Tabernacle in Ota, Ogun State, on Friday, Obasanjo, now 86, humorously remarked that he would still be present when Oyedepo turns 90, at which point he himself would be 107 years old.
Addressing the congregation, Obasanjo said, “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. After that, I will leave you alone, and God will be with you.”
He also reflected on his long-standing connection to Ota, where he began farming in 1979, and praised Oyedepo’s contributions to the area.
