Tribute to daddy! daddy!!

TRIBUTE TO DADDY ! DADDY !!. Daddy adopted us as his children way back in the early 2000, at RCCG Dominion Sanctuary, Acme-Ogba Lagos. I called him Daddy! Daddy!! though he was the Vice-President CRM Business and I worked very closely with him and reported directly to him for over 13 years as General Manager.

He called me, mid-November 2005 and asked me to join him to establish and consolidate what is now called CRM BUSINESS in the Redemption City. In the course of the work,he took me to China in 2008, where he introduced me to our Chinese Partners as his representative, who will be coming on his behalf to transact businesses in respect of issues dealing with the CRM Business equipment,machineries and materials;since the work in Camp would not afford him time for much travelings. He took me as his son and confidant and we had prayer meetings and Bible study every Wednesday night to pray for the Mission and our works in Camp; and other places as directed by the General Overseer.

By God’s grace,through his business acumen and purposeful leadership,we were able to establish PVC and Aluminum factories to produce windows and doors;we established Aluminum Long Span Production and Purlins Factories. We also established Nylon carrier bags production factory and PVC profile manufacturing factory, coupled with Plastic chair factory. To the glory of God and the extreme dexterity of Daddy,all the green long span roofing sheets and the galvanized purlins of the 3 x 3 kilometres Auditorium were all produced right inside our factories in Camp as well as the PVC and Aluminum Windows and doors for all the buildings at the Arena.

Same for the roofing sheets and PVC doors and windows of the initial Administrative buildings, Convocation Hall,Lecture theatres, students hostels and staff quarters of the Redeemer’s University Ede,Nigeria. Daddy also ensured that we empowered the various units and departments under CRM Business,to function professionally and this led to great expansion and profitability of all the units as viable, cohesive and ongoing enterprising subsidiaries of the CRM Business conglomerate. He ensured great synergy and cordiality between Projects Department and CRM Business in the implementations of the visions of the two departments he most ably headed and directed.

This divine business approach, saved the Mission substantial financial expenditures and assured us of the quality of our products, which compare and compete favourably with those of corporate organizations, we once patronized with heavy financial commitments. Daddy taught me complete loyalty, obedience and commitment to leadership;as he always carried out instructions and directives from the General Overseer with despatch and alacrity. When we celebrated Daddy’s 80th birthday in USA last year February, we never imagined that he will not be alive to witness his 81st birthday.

God knows best. Daddy always insisted we put up in his house in USA anytime my wife and I travelled for vacation; hence we became heavily bonded with the family:Mummy Mate, Pastor Peter (Jnr),Christy and Grace and their respective families. Daddy was always at our major family functions or asked Mummy to be present,even when we had functions at Ogbomoso our home town.

Daddy on his return from his visits abroad, would always had complete high quality suit or shirt or pair of shoes for me,that was Daddy Mate for you-a real father, Pastor,coach and mentor per excellence. We bless God for a life of godliness,impact and diligence ;as well as forthrightness he robbed off on us in the work of our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ.Praise be to the Lord Most High.

We sincerely know and believe; that you are resting peacefully, awaiting the resurrection morning when all the saints shall be gathered to live forever with the Lord.To God be all the glory. Your Children, Pastor Tunji and Pastor(Mrs) Sinmisola Adigun.
