Rev. Sam Aboyeji has been re-elected as general overseer of Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria.
His second term of five years will begin in November this year.
Chairman of the electoral (affirmation) committee, who is the church’s northern regional coordinator, Rev. Professor James Jacob, announced the re-election on Monday.
Aboyeji polled 1,931 votes, representing 97.6 per cent of the 1,979 total votes cast by delegates at the church’s special convention held at the Foursquare Camp at Ajebo in Ogun State.

The delegates from 178 districts of the church across the country described the electoral process as transparent.
Jacob said the church’s constitution stipulates that the general overseer must secure a simple majority of the votes cast by delegates for the renewal of his mandate at the expiration of his first tenure.
In his remarks, Aboyeji expressed appreciation to the delegates for the peaceful conduct of the election.
The general overseer called for the cooperation and participation of all church members in performing his tasks.
