Early ministry and rise in Foursquare Gospel Church
Aboyeji joined the Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria in 1988 and was ordained as a minister in 2001. In the early years of his ministry, he served as Senior Pastor at the Olu of Warri Palace and participated actively in local church leadership and evangelism initiatives.
He retired from his position in the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation in March 2010 to commit fully to pastoral work.
Aboyeji's advancement within Foursquare Nigeria followed a steady progression through multiple leadership levels. He served as Senior Pastor and later as District Overseer, overseeing several churches within designated administrative zones.
He was appointed Warri District Overseer in 2006, a position in which he was recognized as the church's best District Overseer for three consecutive years. In 2011, he became the Mid-West Region Coordinator.
During this period, he was also appointed to national bodies within Foursquare Nigeria, including the Board of Home and Foreign Missions and the National Executive Council. These roles involved participation in national-level strategic decision-making and reflected recognition of his leadership beyond the districts and regions he supervised.
Leadership as General Overseer
Aboyeji was elected as the 5th General Overseer of the Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria in July 2019 during the denomination's special delegates convention. He succeeded Rev. Felix Meduoye, who had completed two terms in office.
He was re-elected in 2024 for a second five-year term, receiving 1,931 votes out of 1,979 delegates (97.6 percent) at a special convention held at the Ajebo Campground.
Upon assuming office in 2019, Aboyeji outlined an agenda focused on evangelism, church planting, youth engagement, ministerial development, and administrative strengthening. His administration emphasised mission work in urban, rural, and riverine communities, including the Riverine/Hinterland Churches Enlargement Scheme (RHCHES). He also reaffirmed the denomination's emphasis on the “fourfold gospel” of Jesus as Saviour, Baptiser with the Holy Spirit, Healer, and Soon-Coming King.
Youth involvement formed a significant part of his stated priorities, with calls for expanded participation of young people across the church's ministries. His administration also referenced a framework described as “In-reach, Outreach and NextGen,” used to guide programme direction and resource allocation.
During Aboyeji's tenure, the church has undertaken several institutional projects. These include youth ministry reforms and adjustments to pastoral licensing processes to increase opportunities for younger ministers.
In the area of Community health services, the church commissioned an upgraded hospital facility at its Ajebo Camp during the 70th Annual Convention, continuing earlier healthcare outreach to Ajebo and surrounding communities.
His administration has also sustained the Annual Foursquare Public lecture series, which addresses Public policy and Social issues; the 12th edition focused on Poverty alleviation and Economic development. As part of the denomination's 70th-anniversary activities, the church announced a programme which included measures related to ministers’ welfare and retirement support.
As General Overseer, Aboyeji represents Foursquare Nigeria in national Christian associations, ministerial councils, and interdenominational forums. His administration has engaged in public commentary on national matters, including Economic policy. In 2025, he participated in events such as the Foursquare Ministers and Leaders Conference, where he and other senior officials addressed topics related to ministerial ethics and the future direction of the church.
