September 25, (THEWILL) – Wale and Paul Adefarasin last week put aside their rivalry to celebrate Paul’s wife, Ifeanyi Adefarasin, as she marked her 50th birthday.
The brothers are both clerics and sons of a former Chief Justice of Lagos State, late Justice Joseph Adefarasin, but they have not been known to get along well like normal siblings.
Wale who is the oldest of the three Adefarasin brothers, is the founder and Senior Pastor of Guiding Life Assembly. He turned 70 a few months ago and rolled out the drums in celebration.
Unfortunately, his younger brother, Paul, was conspicuously absent at the ceremony. Not only was he absent, but he also didn’t celebrate him on social media which is quite unusual for the televangelist who is very assertive on social media and often celebrates those dear to him.
His absence caused a stir as many were disappointed in the clergy. His absence at his elder brother’s 70th birthday was not his first. He was also absent in 2012 when Wale marked his 60th birthday. Whatever might have caused the rift between the two brothers has remained a top secret over the years.
But it seems they have finally moved beyond their differences as Wale was present at the birthday party of Pastor Ifeanyi last week. He graced the three-day celebration on Sunday. And was one of the people who paid glowing tribute to his sister-in-law.
