Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has expressed his condolences to the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adebayo, over the death of his son,  Pastor Dare Adeboye.

The Governor described the death of Pastor Adeboye’s son as an unfortunate development which has inflicted a wound in the hearts of family members in particular, the Christian community, all lovers of Adeboye and Nigerians in their millions.

Dr. Fayemi described Pastor Dare as a vibrant young man and committed Minister in God’s vineyard who trod the righteous path being trodden by his parents.

The Governor urged Pastor Adeboye and his wife to remain strong in faith in the trying time and rely on God who assuages grief.

“Our heartfelt condolences to Baba and Mama Adeboye, and the entire members of the RCCG worldwide. May the Lord heal the wound and uphold them.

“We urge them to be consoled by the fact that their departed son made an impact in his short years of existence and is resting in the blossom of the Lord.

“May God grant the entire Adeboye family, RCCG congregation the fortitude and equanimity to bear the irreparable loss”. The governor added.

Also, Ondo State Governor, Mr Rotimi Akeredolu, commiserated with the General-Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) over the death of his son.

Governor Akeredolu described the sudden death of the late Dare as tragic and a huge loss to the Christendom, Adeboye’s dynasty and the youths considering the role of the deceased in youth mentorship as an Assistant Pastor in charge of Region (Youth) 35.

“Undoubtedly, if Christ tarries, no one is excused from the tragic end of death. What is most desirable is that we all come of ripe age and live our lives well in the hope that we bury our parents and not the other way round.

“It becomes devastating when a father experiences this kind of loss. This is indeed a big blow to take. Pastor Dare was a promising servant of God. His death in his prime is, to say the least, excruciatingly painful.

“While we condole with our father in Lord, Pastor Adeboye, and the entire family of RCCG worldwide on this irreplaceable loss, we urge Pastor Adeboye to take solace in the words of God: “He gives and takes. He is an unquestionable God.”

Governor Akeredolu said that Pastor Adeboye has been a great benefactor of the state through the RCCG’s many interventions, adding that the state will continue to pray for him.
