Ekiti Governor Abiodun Oyebamiji, former Senior Special Adviser to former President Buhari, Hon. Afolabi Imorkuhade and the Olojudo Of Ido Faboro-Ekiti, Oba Ayorinde Ilori Faboro have eulogised the planter, Grace of Mercy Prayer Mountain Worldwide, Prophet Sam Olu-Alo on his birthday.
Prophet Alo, who is also the founder of Adamimogo Communications Limited, marked his birthday on Saturday with launching of a maternity home and a new radio station, Adamimogo 107.7FM, in his hometown, Ido Faboro Ekiti.
Oyebamiji, who was represented by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Information, Olusesan Alabi, commended the cleric for his philanthropic nature, saying his efforts towards reducing unemployment among youths cannot be overemphasized.
Olu-Alo thanked God for favour despite obstacles faced in life, saying plans were underway to establish a global television station in Ido-Ekiti, Ibadan and Lagos to give employment and put his hometown on global map.
He also announced his plan to build a world-class piggery, grass cutter farm, and palm tree farms.
“I request 100 hectares of land each for these three projects from you the Kings in my hometown similar to what we have for the SOAF Medical Centre in Irete-Ijebu,” Olu-Alo said, adding that the farms would provide employment to at least 200 youths, and their produce would be a major source of export to other countries.
Alo said he ventured into commercial operations out of commitment to inspire younger generations in becoming better person and support government in meeting needs of the masses.
While speaking at the event, the Olojudo Of Ido Faboro-Ekiti, and chairman, Ekiti State Traditional Council Of Obas, said that in Olu-Alo, he had found a passionate being who matched his vision for the growth of Ido-Ekiti.
He said he had jokingly asked Olu-Alo to set up his next radio station in his hometown in October, 2023 affirming that charity begins at home, and was expressly excited to launch the station eight months after the pronouncement.
“When Babatunde Bamigboye (Omo Edema) reached out to me for a land to build the new radio station. I asked if they were ready to build or just wanted the land for keeps in the long-term but to my surprise they said they were ready to build the radio station and I’m happy that having toiled in the rain with them that day to find the best location for the citing of the radio station, they wasted no time in setting to work,” he stressed.
The Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice in Ekiti, Dayo Apata, (SAN) described Prophet Olu-Alo as a friend and brother whom God has used tremendously to impact lives positively.
He thanked God for the cleric’s life and sought divine strength for him to continue to excel.
The Regional Superintendent CAC Essien Region and Benin Republic, Pastor Isaac Eyebiokin, and Planter CAC, the Boaneges, Prophet Ade Ologbonyo, hailed Prophet Olu-Alo for giving hope to Nigerians at a time of economic troubles.
The Chairman of the Ido Town Development Council, Hon. Sola Ogunsina said despite government intervention, Ido-Ekiti had taken its pride of place among other communities in Ekiti as a self-developed town.
He said the community had developed a strong belief that individuals could follow Olu-Alo’s path to execute legacy projects, hailing the cleric for leading by example.
Chairman of Adamimogo FM, Nigeria, Elder Afolabi Imoukhoude, extolled the cleric for his holistic approach to impacting people’s lives.
He said Olu-Alo not only addressed people’s problems via messages but had taken time to address their physical, psychological, and social well-being through various establishments under the Adamimogo Global outreach, comprising palliatives to widows and the elderly, a global sports team known as Adamimogo FC which discovers and nurtures soccer talents, as well as the media arm and world-standard health facility.
The highlight of the event include cutting of birthday cake, commissioning of Christ Apostolic Church Oke-Isegun’s Maternity Faith Home, donated by Prophet Alo, and commissioning of Adamimogo 107.7FM, the third in Adamimogo’s franchise after Adamimogo 93.1FM in Lekki, Lagos, and Adamimogo 105.1FM in Ibadan, Oyo State.
