The Founder of Esther Ajayi Foundation as well as General Overseer, Love of Christ (LOC) Generation Church, United Kingdom, Reverend Mother Esther Abimbola Ajayi, has declared that the church is set to host this year’s edition of its yearly convention tagged “Celebrate The Comforter 2018.

The Reverend Mother, who is known for her unflinching act of giving, made this declaration while addressing a house full of pressmen at the Presidential Suite of the Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.

She noted that the annual fiesta is principally tailored towards evangelism, freeing people from the shackles of poverty, winning more souls for Christ and celebrating the wonders of God, adding that of more importance is the fundamental objective of the meet, which is to bring Celestial and Cherubim and Seraphim churches together in a bid to change misconceptions about ‘white garment churches’ and their modus operandi.

“The fundamental objective of the Comforter 2018 is to bring the Celestial and Cherubim and Seraphim churches together, and to tell the world that we believe solemnly in the Word of God, and have a unity of purpose,” she said.

She happily announced that this year’s event will be held at the United Palace, Broadway, New York, United States of America on Saturday, July 28, 2018 with herself and other anointed preachers on hand to ‘breathe anointing fragrance into the lives of the people’.

Still on the theme of unity, she called on religious and trafitional rulers to preach peace at all times, and shun statements or actions that have the tendency to cause division and disaffection amongst Nigerians.

She also used the opportunity to urge religious leaders to preach more about moral and values, and less about prosperity.

Nothing that with the right values, the youths, who are the future will grow up to cherish excellence over mediocrity.

Furthermore, she urged Nigerian youths to shun illegal migration, noting that there were so many opportunities in Nigeria that could be positively harnessed.

It is for this reason that the General Overseer pledged to use the opportunity of the gathering in New York to celebrate youths that have excelled in their academic pursuit while urging religious leaders to do same in their various churches as a means of encouraging the youths .

Reminiscing on the previous edition of 2017 tagged ‘Celebrating the Comforter’ with the theme ‘Unity in the Holy Spirit’ held at the Excel, London, which recorded ‘huge success’, Rev. Mother noted that the 2018 edition will sure surpass it in both content and achievement as ‘God is set to give His people double portion of anointing that will release them from the bondage of captivity and the kingdom of darkness’.

Reverend Mother Ajayi, who was flanked at the briefing by her loving husband, Dr. Ademuyiwa Ajayi, and her daughter, who doubles as her Personal Assistant, Ola Ajayi, also used the opportunity to reach out to both political, religious and traditional leaders in the country to cultivate the spirit of tolerance, and abhor those things that tend to ’cause disharmony, division and disaffection’.

Earlier, she noted that the Esther Ajayi Foundation, has made amazing impact since inception, even as the seven persons empowered during the Ovation Carol of December 2017 are doing very well, and even empowering others. However, she modestly stressed that:

“Our joy is not only about the amazing impact… but seeing it become so successful that those we have empowered have themselves started touching other lives positively.”

She reiterated the desire of the Foundation in considering the Libya returnees, first, as a multi-purpose facility being constructed in Odogbolu, Ogun State for teaching of vocational, courses is almost ready. She praised the likes of Ovation CEO, Bashorun Dele Momodu and Founder, Focus on Disability Foundation, Mr. Abiodun Paseda, for their support of her philanthropic efforts.

In continuation of her trips towards affecting lives, Reverend Mother Ajayi, who declared that of the proposed one million lives to be touched this year, over 600, 000 has been affected so far even as the year is still young, will soon be in Turkey to visit Refugee camps and get a first hand knowledge of theirexperience with a view to lend a helping hand.

The Centre for Reform and Public Advocacy (CFRPA) has filed a suit at the Federal High Court in Kano seeking the disqualification of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu from the 2027 presidential election over allegations of certificate forgery.

‎According to court documents seen by Daily Trust, the plaintiff alleged that Tinubu presented forged academic certificates from Chicago State University and a fake National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) discharge certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) during the 2023 elections.

‎‎The suit, marked FHC/K/CS/312/2026, lists Tinubu, INEC, and Chicago State University as defendants.

‎The plaintiff contended that Tinubu never attended Government College Lagos as claimed, noting that the school was established in 1974, four years after Tinubu allegedly graduated.

The CSO further argued that Tinubu does not possess a valid secondary school certificate, which is the minimum constitutional requirement to contest for the presidency.

‎It claimed that INEC had failed to act on its petition dated June 19, 2026, demanding clarification on Tinubu’s eligibility.

‎‎In its statement of claims, the group referenced a 2023 U.S. court ruling in In Re: Application of Atiku Abubakar (No. 23 CV 05099), which compelled Chicago State University to release Tinubu’s academic records.

‎The plaintiff insisted those records revealed false entries and inconsistencies, including a forged University of Cambridge General Certificate of Education.

‎The prayers asked by the plaintiff included declaration of forgery against Tinubu’s Chicago State University certificate, issuance of an order directing INEC to disqualify him from the 2027 presidential election, directing CSU to strike Tinubu’s name from its records and perpetual injunction restraining INEC from uploading Tinubu’s name as a candidate.

‎The plaintiff also submitted affidavits of non-multiplicity of action, witness statements, and letters to the NYSC and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, demanding disclaimers on the alleged fake NYSC certificate.

Insecurity: Adeboye, Oyedepo Urge More US Military Action in Nigeria

The General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, and Founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo, have thanked U.S. President Donald Trump for recent military action against terrorism in Nigeria, urging Washington to do more to halt the unrelenting attacks.

Both clerics spoke at the “Faith Heroes Award Gala” in Washington D.C. on June 26, 2026, organised by Save Nigeria Group USA, SNGUSA, with the US-Nigeria Civil Society Coalition.

The event honoured Trump, Congressmen Chris Smith and Riley Moore, and other advocates of religious freedom in Nigeria.

Addressing a packed audience of activists, policymakers and faith leaders at the Hilton Garden Inn, Capitol Hill, Adeboye said the scale of violence has moved beyond what any religious leader can handle alone.

“Terrorism is now at my doorstep,” he said. “If you want to help us, help us more.”

The RCCG leader, who had faced criticism for not speaking out earlier, said he chose “spiritual warfare” instead of public escalation. He noted that Trump’s December strikes on terrorist camps did not surprise him because the U.S. President had warned of consequences.
