Sanwo-Olu sympathises with Pastor Adeboye over son’s death

The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has sympathised with the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye and his wife, on the death of their son, Pastor Dare Adeboye.

Dare Adeboye, who was 42 before his demise on Wednesday in Eket, Akwa Ibom was an Assistant Pastor in charge of Youths in Region 35 of RCCG.

Showing his whole-hearted condolences, the Governor released a statement on Thursday through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Gboyega Akosile.

In the statement, Sanwo-Olu appealed to the family of the deceased, friends, associates and whole members of RCCG to take the demise in good faith.

He said, “No doubt the death of a loved one is usually painful as it is irreparable but we must always take solace in God, especially if the deceased had lived a good life, just like the late pastor Dare Adeboye.

“The pastoral and wise counsel of Pastor D as he was fondly called will be sorely missed by his family and the entire members of RCCG, especially in Eket, Akwa Ibom, where he played active roles as a cleric before he passed on.

“I sympathise with Pastor Enoch Adeboye, his wife, siblings and widow of the deceased and the entire members of RCCG. I pray that God will grant the late Pastor Dare Adeboye eternal rest and grant the family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.”
