UK-based Nigerian pastor, Tobi Adegboyega, known for his lavish lifestyle and controversial persona, has revealed that his partner, Mary Olubukola Alade, is the one who financially supports his lifestyle.

Adegboyega, who leads the Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church (SPAC Nation), made this revelation during a legal battle with the UK immigration authorities.

During his hearing before Judges Bruce and Rastogi, Adegboyega explained that he does not receive any salary from the church.

Instead, his partner Mary, who holds a high-paying job at the insurance company AON and earns £100,000 annually, takes care of his financial needs.

Adegboyega emphasized that his flamboyant appearance, complete with designer clothes and luxury cars, is entirely funded by her earnings.

The pastor’s immigration woes began when it was discovered that he had overstayed his visitor’s visa, which he entered the UK with in 2005.

Despite multiple attempts to remain in the country on human rights grounds, the UK Tribunal ruled for his deportation back to Nigeria.

The court cited that he had no legal right to remain in the UK after his visa expired and that his appeals had failed to meet the required criteria for residency.

Addressing his choice of lifestyle, the 44-year-old pastor defended his need to showcase wealth and success.

He claimed that his flashy image is designed to motivate young people to pursue legitimate ways of making money, such as entrepreneurship.

“I believe it’s crucial to dress well and drive nice cars so young people can see there are lawful ways to achieve success,” he stated.

Adegboyega further explained that despite holding a first-class law degree from Nigeria, he had willingly given up a potential legal career to serve his community through his church.

“I’ve sacrificed my career to help those who cannot help themselves,” he added.

“No Other Candidate Brings What I Bring to the Table” – Peter Obi Says

Peter Obi, former Labour Party presidential candidate, has declared that democracy no longer exists in Nigeria. Speaking in an interview with Arise TV, Obi pointed to the recent Edo State governorship election and the unfolding political crisis in Rivers State as clear signs that democratic principles have collapsed.

Obi condemned President Tinubu’s decision to declare a state of emergency in Rivers over tensions between Governor Sim Fubara and FCT Minister Nyesom Wike. The President’s move included suspending the governor, his deputy, and the entire State Assembly for six months, replacing them with a Sole Administrator.

Obi criticized the decision, arguing that no one should govern without a mandate from the people. “There is no democracy in Nigeria today,” he said. When asked why he plans to contest the 2027 presidential election, Obi said the fight for real democracy must continue. “Look at the Edo election — does that look like democracy? Rivers State buried the whole idea,” he said.

“You can’t fix problems by breaking the rules,” Obi added. “I’m still committed to building a better Nigeria. I have the background, the experience, and I’ve served in both the corporate world and as a governor. No other candidate brings what I bring to the table.”
