Foursquare Gospel Church’s Former GO., Rev. Wilson Badejo, Dies

The death of the former General Overseer of the Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria, Dr Wilson Badejo, has been announced.

In a statement by the National Secretary of the church, Rev. Yomi Oyinloye, Badejo, aged 74, was the church’s G.O between 1999 and 2009, and died on Saturday, August 7, 2021, during a brief illness.

According to Rev Oyinloye, “he (Dr Badejo) was a great achiever, an accomplished servant of God, a role model, a bridge builder, mentor, teacher par excellence, an apostle and respected family man.

“Dr Badejo served the Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria in several ministerial capacities, crowning his stewardship at the apex as the General Overseer of the Church from 1999 for 2009.

“He was a man of many parts who was able to unlock socio-cultural gateways, and in the process successfully endeared several friends and loved ones from all walks of life across the divide.”

Saying that though the church was saddened by the demise of the servant of God, Rev Oyinloye encouraged members to take solace in the fact that the late General Overseer lived a fulfilling, God-fearing and impactful life.

He stated further that Badejo left behind an indelible mark in the heart of everyone who came his way.

He also called for prayers for the family of the deceased and the Foursquare Gospel Church.
