Many noted the birthday, which came barely a week after Wigwe died in a helicopter crash in the United States, was inappropriate. 

Wigwe had reportedly been a great help to the church prior to his death. But the birthday party implied that the church had no emotional attachment to him.

Do2dtun criticises Pastor Iluyomade amid suspension

The top OAP revealed that he has been an active member of Pastor Iluyomade's parish and knows firsthand the contributions the late Herbert Wigwe made towards the growth of the church.

He lambasted the man of God for not postponing the birthday bash he hosted to next year or further as a sign of honour for the good deeds the departed businessman did for his ministry.    

According to Do2dtun, the late billionaire assisted in building the parish and ensured that all its roads were in good condition for easy access.

"He never flinched one day in supporting you, but your birthday was more important?"

The radio man highlighted the importance of empathy in making decisions, especially when considering how they affect people who have been influential in one's development.

"Empathy also comes with wisdom. It might seem emotional but it helps in certain situations. Someone showed unwavering support to your cause and then the only thing you can’t do is move a date for your birthday? Someone that lost a whole family? Everything is not logic."
