CAN General Secretary, Barrister Joseph Bade Daramola, in a condolence messages on Saturday in Abuja, said that that late Badejo was a great servant of God who contributed immensely to the expansion and the growth of the gospel during his lifetime especially as the General Overseer of the Church.
“He was a visionary, disciplined, hardworking, result-oriented and godly leader. It is painful that he departs when his godly counsels are needed most.
“Our heart goes to his immediate family and the Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria such as times as these and we pray to God to console and comfort them.
“The vacuum created by his departure; no doubt will be difficult to be filled but this will be done by God Himself. Our joy is that the departed God’s General sleeps in the Lord whom he served sincerely all his lifetime,” Daramola said.
