Nigeria’s former President, Goodluck Jonathan has commiserated with the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, over the death of his son, Pastor Dare.
In a condolence message, in Abuja on Thursday, Jonathan expressed sadness over the passing of the pastor, describing him as a much-loved clergyman.
The former president noted that the late man of God lived a life that was a pattern of good works and prayed to God to grant his soul eternal rest.
He said: “Though I never knew Pastor Dare personally, I have had cause to meet his father, Pastor Adeboye, and it would seem that the apple did not fall far from the tree.
The Governor of Ondo State Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, on Thursday described the death of Dare, son of the General-Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, as a huge loss to Christendom.
While commiserating with Pastor Adeboye over the loss of his son, Akeredolu described the death of late Pastor Dare, who was a Regional Youth Evangelist as big blow for any father to take.
According to Akeredolu, that late Dare whose death was sudden, was a promising servant of God considering the role of the deceased in youth mentorship.
Akeredolu, who condoled with our Pastor E.A Adeboye, and the entire family of RCCG over the irreplaceable loss, urged the General Overseer to take solace in the words of God.

Commenting on the issue, Jonathan asked the national assembly that instead of scrapping the LG system, it should make laws that would strengthen it and grant it autonomy.
He said if he were a member of the national assembly, he would mobilise his colleagues to amend sections of the constitution to prohibit the appointment of local government chairmen and allow the people at the grassroots to decide who led them, through election.
He described the local government system as the oldest globally accepted means through which government impact positively on the lives of the people at the grassroots.
