Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde and his wife, Tamunominini, have bemoaned the death of the founder of Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), Oke-Agbara, Ibadan, Prophet Michael Ojo Olowere, popularly called Baba Olowere, as a huge loss to Christendom.
In separate condolence messages, on Thursday, they said the loss of Olowere, who they described as “a worthy father of faith and one of God’s Generals,” as painful.
A statement on behalf of Makinde by his Chief Press Secretary to the Oyo State governor, Mr Sulaimon Olanrewaju, expressed his condolences to the leadership of the CAC Worldwide, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), and the immediate family of Baba Olowere.
Makinde said Olowere would be highly missed by his followers, admirers, and the Christian faithful in the state.
“Baba lived his life serving God and humanity. He was a God’s General who sought the good of Oyo State and Nigeria and contributed his quota to making it happen,” Makinde said.
On her part, Makinde’s wife, Tamunominini, described the late Olowere as one of the greatest anointed men of God, dedicating himself to the service of God and humanity.
