The event held at the Christ Life Church, Garden of Victory, Olaogun, Old-Ife Road, Ibadan, Oyo State, on Sunday was also graced by other top government officials, executive members of Ogun State CAN chapter, and followers of the newly elected bishop.

In his goodwill message, Professor Osinbajo considered the enthronement of Bishop Akin-Akinsanya as an affirmation of your lifetime devotion to God and continuous good work in his vineyard.

“We are also proud of your work as Ogun CAN chairman and your recent preferment as the Chief of Staff of the PFN president.

“We pray this consecration would release fresh oil of grace and influence for greater achievement in Nigeria and across the globe,” he added.

According to Governor Abiodun, the enthronement of Bishop Akin-Akinsanya is a welcomed development to the church at large and evidence of the growth of the Church, adding that, “I congratulate Bishop Akin-Akinsanya on this enthronement. It is a well-deserved honour. He was instrumental to my governorship ambition and he has been a great supporter to the current government.”

He, however, charged the body of Christ to be more united and join forces with the government to bring Nigeria to it’s rightful place.

Also, in her goodwill message, Dr Awolowo Dosumu noted that the special ceremony is confirmation of your elevation to this enviable position in the Lord’s vineyard nine years ago.

“We give God all the glory that, in the intervening years, He has also called you to be a powerful instrument in advancing His kingdom on earth, specifically in the position of Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Ogun State.

“I can testify, as I am sure many others can, that you have brought unprecedented dynamism to the task, thereby restoring much-needed vitality to the body of Christ in the area under your jurisdiction,” she added.

Reverend Ayokunle also congratulated the newly elected bishop saying, “On behalf of CAN, I congratulated Ogun CAN chairman. We know that when the Lord called you, he equally ordained you to go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide. From your antecedents, we know you have been a productive minister of the gospel of the Lord and you will never disappoint Him.”

In his sermon, Bishop Oke, expressed his delight in the enthronement of Bishop Akin-Akinsanya, noting that the development was long overdue considering his distinctive contribution toward the development of Christianity in Nigeria.

“Bishop Akin-Akinsanya and I shared a similar story on our journey to becoming a bishop. I remember how the late Benson Idahosa lured me before he passed on to be concentrated, just as Bishop Akin-Akinsanya ought to have been ordained many years back.

“Bishop Akin-Akinsanya has been instrumental to the body of Christ and even to my honorable office as he voluntarily offered to be my Chief of Staff and he had been so wonderful. I pray as you are being anointed as a bishop today, God will grant you the grace to exploit and more grace to lift the body of Christ,” he added.

Oba Ajayi said, “Bishop Akin-Akinsanya’s commitment, devotion, and dedication have helped him to attain this enviable position and I am hopeful that you will bring to bear your experience and skill in handling God’s assignment. We are happy to be associated with you and pray that God continues to uplift you as you continue to uplift Christianity.”

Reverend Mother Ajayi in her goodwill message said, “I celebrated this honour with you and this blessed reward for your commitment and dedication in the work of the ministry and service to God. As a fellow minister of God, I understand the responsibility of leadership and being a shepherd in God’s kingdom, and therefore, I pray for more outpouring of God’s anointing upon you.”
