However, encouraging the bereaved family to take solace in God for the fact that the late cleric lived a good life, the Lagos governor noted that the development should be taken in good faith.
He recalled that Prophet Joshua touched the lives of people both locally and in many parts of the world, especially as a philanthropist, adding that this aspect of his life will greatly be missed.
The statement read in part:
“The pastoral, wise counsel and philanthropic gestures of Prophet T.B Joshua will be sorely missed by his family, the less privileged and the entire members of The Synagogue Church of Nations, especially in Ikotun axis of Lagos State, where he played active roles as a cleric and philanthropist before he passed on.
“I sympathise with his family, friends, associates, widow of the deceased and the entire members of The Synagogue Church of Nations and the Ondo State Government. I pray that God will grant the late Prophet T.B Joshua eternal rest and grant the family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.”
