Legit.ng gathered that Akeredolu disclosed this while speaking on the life of the late Joshua at the lying-in-state currently ongoing in the church premises.
Pastor TB Joshua is a world citizen
The governor said he was contacted by the monarch of Arigidi Akoko, the hometown of TB Joshua, Oba Yisa Olanipekun, to convince the family and the church to bring the remains to the hometown as the final resting place.
He said:
“When the Zaki of Arigidi-Akoko called me, he was crying on phone, he begged me to talk to the family. I told him there was nothing I could do because the man of God has a family and his final resting place can only be decided by them."
Akeredolu also described the late prophet as a rare gem, adding that the renowned man of God was a blessing to humanity and a great ambassador of Ondo state whose ministry was noted for charity.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos state was represented by Olanrewaju Elegushi, the state commissioner for home affairs.
