“He was a great prophet of God who touched the lives of many, young and old, male and female, rich and poor.
“We would surely miss his devotion, dedication and selflessness, but we are very much relieved that he has gone to rest in the bosom of the lord,” she said.
According to the president, Fakeye was a teacher and evangelist, who was always committed to building the society through strong articulation of religious tolerance and constant advice to those in power and authority.
“He was also a national executive member of CAN, the President of the Organisation of African Instituted Churches (OAIC), and a very active member of the Nigerian Inter-Religious Council, (NIREC),” she said. (NAN)
