Ayo Oritsejafor

Senior pastor of Word of Life Bible Church Ayo Oritsejafor danced with former President Olusegun Obasanjo in church on Sunday.

The former president was at the church to celebrate with Oritsejafor on his 80th birthday and 52nd year in Christian ministry.

A video of the dance was shared on the preacher’s social media pages.

Also at the church were ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Deputy Governor of Delta State Monday Onyeme, Professor John Opara, and Ereyitomi Thomas among others.

In August, Oritsejafor revealed he was once diagnosed with cancer.

Speaking to his congregation in a video shared on social media, the former president of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) said God miraculously healed him. He did not mention the specific cancer diagnosis.

Oritsejafor recalled that the day he was leaving for the US for medical treatment, someone he knew was leaving for the United Kingdom with the same kind of cancer.

“While I was leaving for America somebody I know was leaving for the United Kingdom with the same kind of cancer. It’s an aggressive cancer. The day I boarded the flight coming to Nigeria, he was in a casket coming to Nigeria,” he said.

“How do you face cancer and still stand like this? But I have not told you when I was going to America full of cancer, you did not know, I did not tell you. I look normal because this is my way of life.”
