Pastor Adeboye To Holds Open Crusade In Ekiti Dec. 23

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, will hold a one-day open crusade on Monday, December 23 in Ilogbo-Ekiti.

Ilogbo-Ekiti is a community in Ido/Osi Local Government Area of Ekiti.

The crusade, themed ‘Operation Light Up Ilogbo-Ekiti’, is organised by the Ilogbo-Ekiti Roundtable Development Initiative (IRDI), a non-profit organisation established by distinguished sons and daughters of the community.

This was disclosed in a statement signed by IRDI President, Prof. Olusola Aluko.

According to Aluko, the crusade aims to pray for the prosperity and development of Ilogbo-Ekiti, its people worldwide, and the good people of Ekiti state.

“We are delighted to host a globally respected anointed man of God, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, in our community on behalf of the good people of Ekiti state.

“This is not just an event for the Ilogbo-Ekiti community but a statewide programme. His Excellency, Mr Biodun Oyebanji, will attend with members of his cabinet to welcome our guest,” Aluko said.

Aluko, a Professor of Architecture at the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti, noted that the event would span seven days and include daily crusades, and free medical outreach.

Also, the distribution of food items to the elderly, widows, and vulnerable individuals will be carried out.

“All traditional rulers, religious leaders, and RCCG parishioners in Ekiti state and neighbouring states are expected at the crusade,” he added.

Ilogbo-Ekiti is the hometown of the late Prof. Omotayo Olutoye, the first Professor of Oral Yoruba Literature, and his son, Prof Oluyinka Olutoye, who famously performed a successful surgical procedure on a 23-week-old foetus in the US.

Dignitaries expected at the event include Gov. Biodun Oyebanji of Ekiti, state executives, members of the House of Assembly, traditional rulers, and religious leaders.
