TB Joshua’s Death, Terrible Loss To Yoruba Nation- Prof. Akintoye

The leader of Yoruba self-determination groups, Ilana Omo Oodua, Prof. Banji Akintoye, has described the death of the founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, Prophet T.B Joshua, as a terrible loss to the Yoruba Nation.

Akintoye, in a statement made available to journalists on Sunday by his Communications Manager, Mr Maxwell Adeleye, described the late televangelist as a great servant of God with outreaches touching most part of the world and bringing charity to the needy everywhere.

The renowned Historian and Second Republic senator said, “The sudden passing of Prophet TB Joshua is a shock to me personally and a great loss to the Yoruba Nation.

“He was a credibly-great servant of God with outreaches touching most part of the world and bringing charity to the needy everywhere, including to his people in the Akoko Area of Ondo-State.

“In many countries across the world, people watched his ministry on TV as he brings his gospel message with hope and joy.

“We his people will miss him greatly. We all pray that God will accept him into the joy of heaven.

“I sympathise very deeply with members of his church and I pray that may God continue to sustain them. I pray for strength for his young family, too.”

Joshua died on Saturday night some few days to his 58th birthday which would have held on June 12.
