Today, we pause to honor a man whose life has been poured out as a living sacrifice for God and country; Daddy, Cardinal James Omolaja Odunmbaku.
For nearly eight decades, Daddy has stood as more than a preacher of the Word; he has been a father to many, a mentor to leaders, and a true shepherd to his flock. From the pulpit to the public square, he has carried the banner of Christ with boldness, reminding us that righteousness exalts a nation and that true leadership begins with service.
Daddy’s life is a testimony of discipline, vision, and unwavering commitment. He has raised spiritual sons and daughters who now stand as voices of influence in ministry, governance, and business. He has shown us that being a man of God is not only about preaching, but also about nation-building, advocacy, and transforming communities.
At 79, Daddy remains a beacon of light in a generation searching for truth. His humility, courage, and consistency continue to inspire all who cross his path. We celebrate him today not only for his age, but for the legacy he has built, the lives he has touched, and the hope he continues to stir in the hearts of men.
Happy 79th Birthday, Daddy. We honor you. We thank God for you. And we pray that your latter years will be crowned with even greater glory, strength, and peace.
