I Pray For God To Stand With The Adeboyes – Femi Fani-Kayode

Ex Aviation minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has come out to react to the death of Dare Adeboye, the son of the Redeemed Christian Church of God’s general overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye.

He recently had his say via his Twitter handle, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, he can only pray that God will stand with the Adeboyes and the RCCG family at this difficult time.

He then prayed for Dare’s gentle soul to rest in perfect peace.

His words, “My heart goes out to Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the RCCG & his family for the tragic loss of his son Pastor Dare Adeboye.”

“May the Lord strengthen you & be with you at this difficult time & may Dare’s soul rest in peace. To live is Christ, to die is gain!”
