Sharing the video of his last visit to the prophet on his Facebook page, he wrote: “This was in April this year, when Baba blessed us at #friendsfellowship. God told me that day to ‘Reach out to Baba Olowere to bless me and my fold’.
“Thank God I listened. Thank God I understood TIMES and SEASONS, just like Elisha that didn’t leave Elijah until his ascension. I am very excited that I touched the helms of Baba Olowere’s garment not just from afar but close range.
“Sleep well God’s TREASURE. We love you so much, but God loves you more. Rest on PATRIARCH.”
Also consoling the family of the deceased is the wife of Oyo Governor, Mrs Tamunominini Makinde.
The First Lady in a statement released by her media team, condoled with the family of Baba Olowere and described his death as painful and shocking.

Born on 9th September, Prophet Olowere was a deep preacher, teacher and gospel evangelist.
He was one of the few living Christ Apostolic Church’s (CAC) prophets who had a direct link to the revered former founder and President of the church, the late Apostle Joseph Ayodele Babalola.
