Pastor Tobi Adegboyega
Tobi Adegboyega, the Nigerian-born pastor and founder of the Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church (SPAC Nation) in the United Kingdom, has stated that his influence would multiply significantly if he were based in Nigeria.
This declaration follows a recent ruling by the UK immigration upper tribunal, which approved Adegboyega’s deportation over an alleged £1.87 million fraud charge.
The pastor, however, has firmly denied the allegations, labeling them as baseless and without merit.
In a preview of an upcoming episode of Off The Record podcast, Adegboyega reflected on the impact of his church in the UK and Europe, asserting that it currently holds the position of the largest independent church in these regions.
He added that being based in other locations, such as Nigeria or Paris, would have significantly increased his personal and ministerial success.
Adegboyega further expressed confidence in his legacy in the UK, suggesting that his absence would leave a noticeable void in the religious landscape.
He said, “We are the largest independent church in the UK and Europe right now,” he said.
“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. London will miss me, so you better tell them, we still need this guy, nobody is close to us entertaining us.” (Sunday Tribune)
