Buhari, PFN mourn Badejo, say his legacy worthy of emulation

LAGOS – President Muhammadu Buhari and Bishop Wale Oke, president of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), alongside others, have expressed shock over the demise of Rev. Wilson Badejo, the third General Overseer of Four Square Gospel Church in Nigeria from 1999 to 2009.

Buhari, while commiserating with his family and the Christian community, described Badejo as a worthy Christian leader who stood out, gave his life for the service of God and impacted humanity.

A message on Sunday through Buhari’s Special Ad­viser, Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, stated: “President Muhammadu Buhari sends heartfelt condolences to the Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria, and Christendom in general, over the passage of the formerGeneralOverseer, Rev. Dr. Wilson Badejo, aged 74.

“The President describes the departed as ‘a dedicated servant of God, who led the Foursquare Gospel Church for 10 years, and was committed to standing in the gap for not just his organisation, but Nigeria as a whole.’

“President Buhari prays that God will comfort the entire Bade­jo family, urging them to take so­lace in the fact that their father, a veterinary doctor, author, cleric, and public speaker, set a standard to be emulated by all and sundry.”
