Governor Akeredolu Speaks On Death Of T.B. Joshua

  • Governor Akeredolu has spoken on the death of Pastor T.B. Joshua

EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Governor of Ondo State, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, has described the death of Pastor Temitope Joshua as a great loss.

Governor Akeredolu described the death of the popular prophet as a great loss not only to Africa but the world at large.

Governor Akeredolu made this known via a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Richard Olatunde, on Sunday.

The governor, who expressed shock over the sudden demise of the Ondo-born pastor, described T.B. Joshua as a blessing to humanity as well as a great ambassador of Ondo State.

Governor Akeredolu added that the exit of the cleric will be sorely missed by many, noting that “the pains are not mere emotional flashes; they are indeed piercing”.

Akeredolu, who hails from the same senatorial district with the late evangelist, said Pastor T.B Joshua was committed to giving.

The governor further emphasized that the late prophet demonstrated timelessly, an alluring service to humanity and compassion by assisting not only his home local government, Akoko North West, but other adjoining local governments in Akoko land.

Governor Akeredolu said, “Of significant note too, Pastor Joshua never hesitated to assist in whatever manner the Ondo State Government desired such. To us in Ondo State, we consider this a personal loss. He was a pride to the Sunshine State.

“Not only Africa is hit hard; this is a great global knock as his Pastor TB Joshua’s ministry attracted immeasurable foreign followership. Christendom has lost a giant.

“The reality of the finality of death truly hurts the heart. But for TB Joshua, he had played his own part of the endless life orchestra; he had departed.

“We must take solace in his good deeds he did while here. He is now Heaven’s gain. The people have lost a committed giver. We shall continue to remember his contributions to the development of our State.”

Pastor T.B. Joshua died on Saturday night shortly after a church programme.

He was the leader and founder of The Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), a Christian megachurch that runs the Emmanuel TV Station in Lagos State.
