Pastor Tobi Adegboyega, a UK-based Nigerian cleric, has responded to the news of his deportation with an air of confidence and style.
In a video shared on his verified Instagram page, Pastor Tobi, founder of the now-defunct Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church (SPAC Nation), addressed the swirling allegations of financial misconduct that led to a UK tribunal’s decision to deport him.
Despite accusations of mismanaging £1.87 million in church funds and pressuring members to take loans or engage in questionable activities, Pastor Tobi appeared unbothered.
Sitting in his luxurious mansion, he declared that Nigerians should be proud of him. “London is my city,” he said with assurance, adding that no one could challenge his authority.
The tribunal’s decision came after former church members alleged cult-like practices and financial exploitation within the ministry. However, Pastor Tobi brushed off the controversy, exuding composure and encouraging his supporters to stay calm.
He made it clear that even if he were deported, it wouldn’t be the end of the road for him. “I’ll just move to another country,” he remarked, showing off a rare game pad during his statement.
The video stirred mixed reactions online. While some questioned what Nigerians should be proud of, others poked fun at his accent and unwavering self-assurance.
One commenter wrote, “Every Nigerian should be proud of him? For what exactly?” Another quipped, “London is your city? Omo ale jalajala.” Some supporters jumped to his defense, calling for critics to leave “Davido’s bestie” alone.
Pastor Tobi’s confident demeanor has kept the spotlight firmly on him, even as his legal troubles unfold. Love him or loathe him, one thing is certain—Pastor Tobi knows how to command attention and stir up conversation.
Whether his claims of influence and success resonate with Nigerians or not, his story continues to make waves both at home and abroad.
