President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has said he shares in the pain of loss with the family, friends and congregants of the Fountain of Life Church over the passing of the Senior Pastor, Taiwo Odukoya.
Tinubu spoke in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, following Odukoya’s death at 67.
Ngelale said in the statement on Tuesday, hours after the church confirmed the death of Odukoya on Monday in the United States of America: “President Tinubu sends his heartfelt condolences to the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) and associates of the highly revered religious leader, whose teaching, outreach and good work expanded the frontiers of charitable endeavour with particular respect to the education and health sectors.
“The President notes the worthy contributions of Pastor Odukoya to the development of the country, supporting the weak and vulnerable while providing a platform for many to realize their dreams through the teaching of the word of faith.
“President Tinubu highlights the importance of the active sustenance of the outstanding legacies of the renowned clergyman by all who knew him, trusting that the Almighty God will continue to comfort the family.
