The passing of Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, founding pastor of The Fountain of Life Church, was a startling shock, according to Dr. Joe Okei-Odumakin, president of Women Arise and Centre for Change.
On Tuesday in Lagos, Okei-Odumakin announced this in a condolence letter titled: “Pastor Taiwo Odukoya: So long.”
The late Pastor Bimbo Odukoya, who passed away in a plane disaster in December 2005, was the deceased’s wife, according to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
Odukoya, who was 67 years old, passed away in the USA on Monday, the church said in a press release.
We completely submit to you, Lord! It tweeted, “We thank the Lord for the gift of a great leader!!!”
In response, Okei-Odumakin remarked, “Only men with the assurance of the “real call” offer the resource of life to labour in the Vineyard.
“It’s a rude shock, but the passing of great men is too.”
The late cleric was also referred to by the human rights campaigner as a “End Time General” who, although suffering enormous losses and adversity in life, guided the flock to the foot of Christ.
She claimed that he achieved greatness as a General of the last days.
“This is without a doubt our loss on Earth, but a big gain in the cosmos. Sleep well until the resurrection.
The late Odukoya had remarried to Pastor Nomthi, a South African, in January 2010, but he lost her to cancer again in 2021.
