Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, has narrated in details how he cheated death in last month’s helicopter crash in Kabba, Kogi State at the Holy Ghost Service at the weekend.
He was emphatic that the prayers by Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer, Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, saved his life.
Speaking at the event to mark Adeboye’s 77th birthday anniversary, Osinbajo revealed details of the prayers he received at the Redemption Camp from Adeboye, the general overseer of the church, hours before the helicopter crash he and 11 others survived in Kabba, Kogi State.
“I am Yemi Osinbajo, Pastor in charge of Lagos Province 48 of RCCG,” he began as the congregation cheered excitedly. I thank God for the salvation of my soul.
“Two testimonies: The first is that on February 2nd, I came late for the Holy Ghost Service. After the service, I went to see Daddy in his office and he said he wanted to pray for me. My wife, Dolly, and I knelt down as he prayed, ‘Father, I want you to give special protection to your son.’
“He prayed that three times and stopped. Then he prayed it again. I was getting worried about why he had to pray that way. But anyway, later that day the helicopter I was travelling in crashed in Kabba. All 12 of us in the helicopter survived without a scratch. I want to bless the name of the Lord for that.”
“My second testimony is that on February 23, I was re-elected with President Buhari, for a second term as Vice President and I want to praise the Lord. Praise Jesus. Who did it?”
‘Jesus!’ The congregation roared.
The wife of the General Overseer, Folu Adeboye, had earlier offered her usual prayers for all nations, during which she specifically thanked God for the largely peaceful presidential and National Assembly elections.
