Dr Michael Tidi, Chairman of Warri South council area, has congratulated Pastor Ayodele Joseph Oritsegbubemi Oritsejafor, the former President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and Senior Pastor of Word of Life Bible Church, Warri, as he marks his birth anniversary.

The Warri South Council Boss in a congratulations message by his Special Assistant on Media, Mr Francis Sadhere, described Papa Ayo Oritsejafor as a remarkable man with mysterious grace.

He said Papa Oritsejafor who was the fifth president of CAN and first Pentecostal leader to hold the position, is “a living Legend of our time.”

“On behalf of my family and the good people of Warri South Council Area, we wish you, Pastor Ayodele Joseph Oritsegbubemi Oritsejafor, God’s blessings as you mark yet another milestone in your life.

“Truly, you are a remarkable man with mysterious grace and we are privileged to have you as a father and a blessing to our Generation.
We love you.

“We thank God for granting you the wisdom and knowledge to pastor such a large congregation and keep everyone pivoted on the things that truly matter. You have inspired countless lives through your sermons, and we all wish you good health, happiness, and everlasting joy. Happy birthday Sir!

“We pray that the good Lord continues to give you victory over all your foes. You have come so far, transformed thousands of lives, shown us the light and created a standard no one could ever imagine. Age like fine wine.

“Papa, as you turn a year older, may you continue being the visionary leader that you are, solely committing your life to the work of the ministry. All I pray is that you have enough strength to impact more lives in the years to come. Have a memorable birthday,” Tidi stated.
