Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi has mourned the death of former General Overseer of the Foursquare Gospel Church, Dr Wilson Badejo who passed on at age 74.
The Governor in a condolence message signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Yinka Oyebode said the former Overseer was an exemplary leader who endeared himself to many people as a worthy role model and spiritual leader.
Dr Fayemi who described the departed clergyman as a highly revered man of God, said Rev Badejo was a no-nonsense preacher who preached the Gospel with much grace and candour.
He added that the Veterinary Doctor turned Preacher made very remarkable impact in his ministerial duties while in charge as the Overseer of the Church; and continued making impact afterwards through his foundation and involvement in several humanitarian activities.
While describing Badejo’s death as a great loss to the Christian community across the globe, the Governor said it was a personal loss considering the relationship that existed between him and the deceased.
Fayemi added that the late Badejo would be sorely missed by everyone whose life was impacted by the late preacher whom he said had lived a fulfilling and productive life.
“Dr Badejo’s death is a great loss not only to the Foursquare Gospel Church which he once headed but to many people whose lives were positively impacted by him. He was a fearless preacher of righteousness, teacher and a worthy mentor to many. He will be sorely missed”.
“On behalf of my wife, Bisi, Government and good people of Ekiti State, I commiserate with the family of Dr Badejo, the Foursquare Gospel Church and the Christian community across the world. May God grant the family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss and rest the soul of our dearly beloved departed one”, the governor said.
