Tobi Adegboyega, the Nigerian-born pastor and founder of the Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church (SPAC Nation) in the United Kingdom, has declared that his influence would multiply tenfold if he were based in Nigeria. His statement comes in the wake of a UK immigration upper tribunal ruling that approved his deportation over an alleged £1.87 million fraud charge.
Adegboyega, however, has strongly denied the allegations, describing them as baseless. “These accusations hold no merit. They are completely unfounded,” he stated emphatically in response to the ruling.
Speaking in a preview of an upcoming episode of the Off The Record podcast, Adegboyega highlighted the impact of his ministry in the UK and Europe, claiming it to be the largest independent church in the regions. “We are the largest independent church in the UK and Europe right now,” he said.
He went on to reflect on how his location has influenced his success, suggesting that his achievements would have been significantly greater had he been based in Nigeria or Paris. “If I am in Nigeria, I will be bigger than this, 10x maybe. If I am in Paris, I will be happier. It’s holiday for me,” he remarked.
Adegboyega also hinted at his enduring legacy in the UK, asserting that his absence would create a noticeable void. “London will miss me, so you better tell them, ‘We still need this guy.’ Nobody is close to us, entertaining us.”
Despite the controversy surrounding him, Adegboyega remains optimistic about his ministerial impact and future prospects, expressing confidence in his ability to thrive regardless of his location.
