Senator Otunba Gbenga Daniel has donated a 30-seater Toyota bus to the Abraham Tabernacle Chorale of Abraham’s Tabernacle International Worship Centre in Sagamu, Ogun State.

The Gbenga Daniel bus donation was announced during a courtesy visit to the former Ogun State governor by the President of the Nigerian Baptist Convention, Rev. Dr David Olusola Idowu.

Idowu formally presented the bus to the chorale on behalf of Daniel during the visit, which was held as part of the NBC president’s engagements with Christian stakeholders in Remoland.

The donation is expected to strengthen the chorale’s mobility and provide transportation support for its members during ministrations, conventions, conferences, worship programmes and outreach activities within and outside Sagamu.

During the visit, Idowu commended Daniel for what he described as his longstanding support for the Christian community, particularly his contributions to activities and initiatives aimed at strengthening the Church across Remoland.

The NBC president described Daniel as a “rare bridge-builder”, while acknowledging his continued relationship with Christian leaders and institutions in the area.

Idowu was accompanied by his wife, Pastor Mrs Comfort Idowu; the NBC Vice President, Finance and Investment, Deacon Joseph Abiodun Oloyede; Director of the Global Missions Board, Rev. Royal Ify; President of the Ogun Baptist Conference, Rev. Dr Solomon Oyewale Oyeniyi; and the Resident Pastor of Abraham’s Tabernacle International Worship Centre, Sagamu, Rev. Dr Israel Olubii Olaniyan.

The Abraham Tabernacle Chorale is the music ministry of the Sagamu-based worship centre and participates in Baptist conventions, conferences and interdenominational programmes.

The new bus is expected to ease some of the logistical challenges associated with transporting chorale members to programmes and gospel outreaches outside their base.

The visit also highlighted Daniel’s continued involvement with Christian activities in Remoland, including the Asiwaju of Remo Christians Choir Festival hosted at Abraham’s Tabernacle in Sagamu.
