He told the congregation how he escaped death during the regime of late Gen. Sani Abacha and how he eventually became Nigeria’s president.

Having examined how successful he has become over the years, he said God has been very ‘partial’ to him.

He said: “Let me say most sincerely I thank all of you, and more importantly I thank Almighty God for this day and for what God has done in my life.

“I used to say and I mean it that God has been so partial to me by giving me so much favour that I do not deserve.

“My Lord spiritual, Kabiyesis, if you don’t know anything at all, you just go and locate the village where I was born.

“There should be no one born in that village by the parents, who are my parents, stark illiterate, no road to our village where I was born and you should hear his name beyond the next village.

“So God has done for me, much more than I deserve and I praise God for this.”
