Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State

Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State has commiserated with the family of late Prophet Temitope Joshua and members of Synagogue Church of All Na­tions (SCOAN) on the death of their son and founder.

In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Olisa Ifeajika, in Asaba, Okowa said that the re­nowned cleric’s demise was shocking, and described it as a huge loss to the Christian community in Nigeria and across the world.

According to Governor Okowa, the deceased would be sorely missed for his humble teachings, meek­ness, wise counsels and particularly his good heart and grandiose philanthropy to the needy and humanity.

Besides, Okowa also com­miserated with the govern­ment and people of Ondo State on the demise of the consummate preacher and urged the family and the church to be consoled by the virtues of humility, service to humanity and sound bib­lical teachings that the de­ceased espoused, working in the Lord’s vineyard until his final call.

He assured the family and SCOAN of the support and prayers of his family and Deltans at this trying period.

“It is with great sadness that I, my family, the gov­ernment and people of Delta commiserate with the Chris­tian community, the Joshua family and the entire SCOAN on the passing away of the re­nowned televangelist, Proph­et Temitope Joshua.

“He was a strong voice in the Christian community where he commanded great following, performed mira­cles and taught the word of God with passion.

“His death, no doubt, is a great loss not just to his family and the Synagogue Church of All Nations, but to our country and beyond as his teachings and support to the less-privileged would be greatly missed.
