‘London Will Miss Me,’ Nigerian Pastor Adegboyega Boasts
Embattled UK-based Nigerian pastor and founder of the now-defunct Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church (SPAC Nation), Tobi Adegboyega, has declared that his influence will grow even stronger in Nigeria than it ever was in the United Kingdom.
This comes after the controversial cleric faced allegations of £1.87 million fraud and investigations into his opulent lifestyle, leading to the shutdown of SPAC Nation and the UK immigration upper tribunal approving his deportation. Adegboyega has consistently denied the allegations, labeling them baseless.
In a preview of the upcoming “Off The Record” podcast edition, Adegboyega reflected on SPAC Nation’s accomplishments, asserting its prominence.
“We are the largest independent church in the UK and Europe right now,” he claimed, dismissing suggestions that SPAC Nation’s challenges were unique among churches.
A Controversial Legacy
Despite the controversies surrounding him, Adegboyega expressed confidence in his impact and insisted that London would feel his absence.
“If I am in Nigeria, I will be bigger than this, 10 times 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,” he said.
Adegboyega’s comments highlight his belief in his enduring influence and his readiness to rebuild his reputation, even as his legacy remains a subject of debate.
