President Bola Tinubu has congratulated the founder and Presiding Bishop of The Redeemed Evangelical Mission (TREM), Mike Okonkwo, on the occasion of his 80th birthday.
In a statement issued on Saturday by his Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President joined Bishop Okonkwo’s family, church members, and the wider Body of Christ in celebrating the milestone.
President Tinubu described the cleric as a visionary leader whose stewardship has promoted peace, fostered education, improved healthcare, and inspired economic empowerment across Nigeria and beyond.
“As a respected leader, mentor, and advocate for the downtrodden, Bishop Okonkwo’s commitment to lifting the underprivileged and upholding harmony and the unity of the country reflects the fundamental values of Nigeria.
“His discipline, dedication, and unwavering faith in God continue to shape our society’s moral and social fabric and inspire a new generation of spiritual leaders.
“May God continue to bless him with good health, strength, and wisdom as he carries the gospel worldwide. I pray that Bishop Okonkwo’s exemplary humility and simplicity will inspire the current and future generations to pursue lives of service, leadership, and dedication to humanity. Happy 80th birthday, Your Eminence,” the President stated.
