Ali Baba also recalled the moment TB Johsua started telling him things about his life and he thought the clergyman might be fake.
According to him, just as he was having those thoughts, the man of God said, "You may think I am fake, it's ok. I can't make you change your thinking. That is you."
He said:
"In the last 8 years, you have consistently called to "My brother, how are you? Draw nearer to God". One time you asked, "What is holding you up from God's work?"

Gani Adams speaks on TB Joshua's death
In other news, Legit.ng earlier reported that the Aareonakakanfo of Yorubaland described the death of the clergyman as an eclipse in God's vineyard, saying it was a rude shock.
Adams, through his special assistant on media, Kehinde Aderemi, said the late prophet brought good tidings to Nigeria due to his service to the church and humanity.
He, however, prayed for God to grant the immediate family, his kinsmen, the church, and the country the fortitude to bear the loss.
