Apostle Eugene Ogu, a former chairman of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) described Akinola’s death as sad for the Christian community which is the body of Christ.

“Yes, it is a very sad day for the Christian community. While we were still talking of Prophet TB Joshua, Akinola’s death happened. “It is so sad. I pray that God comforts the entire body of Christ because he (Akinola) laboured so much for the body of Christ”, Eugene said.
