According to Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, the death of Prophet Michael Ojo Olowere, also known as Baba Olowere, the founder of the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), Oke-Agbara, Asi Bodija, and the entire Oyo State, is a significant loss to Christendom.
In a statement signed by his chief press secretary, Sulaimon Olanrewaju, the governor sent his sympathies to the leadership of CAC Worldwide, the Oyo State branch of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), and Baba Olowere’s immediate family.
Baba Olowere, according to Makinde, is a deserving father of faith and one of God’s Generals who has sacrificed greatly to secure the ongoing prosperity of Oyo State through prayers and other means.
He added that Baba would be highly missed by the state’s followers, admirers and the Christian faithful.
The governor said: “I received the news of the death of Prophet Michael Ojo Olowere with shock.
“Baba lived his life serving God and humanity. He was a God’s General who sought the good of Oyo State and Nigeria and contributed his quota to making it happen.
“We have lost a worthy father of faith in Oyo State.
“I condole with the CAC Worldwide, the Oyo State CAN, the members of CAC Oke-Agbara, Asi Bodija and the entire state. I pray that God will grant him eternal rest and give all of us the fortitude to bear this loss.”
