 The announcement was made by the northern regional coordinator of the church and chairman of the electoral committee, Rev. James Jacob.

Aboyeji received a significant majority of 1,931 of the 1,979 votes cast by delegates at the special convention held at the Foursquare Camp, Ajebo in Ogun State.

According to the church‘s constitution, the general overseer is required to secure a simple majority vote from delegates for the renewal of their mandate after the initial five-year term.

Part IV, Section 2 (h) of the constitution stipulates that the general overseer serves for an initial five-year term, renewable for a final term of five years through a secret ballot of „yes“ or „no“ held in April at a Special Convention.

Delegates described the electoral process, conducted in a peaceful and godly atmosphere, as transparent and acceptable to the majority of the church membership.

In his remarks after the exercise, Aboyeji appreciated the delegates for the peaceful conduct of the affirmation election, while also coveting the cooperation and participation of all the members in fulfilling the mandate of the church. „Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria will not relent in playing its God-given pivotal role as a frontline evangelical and Pentecostal Movement in our country.”
