Praising Pastor TB Joshua, Prince Adeleke said:

According to the Chairman, through tonnes of email correspondents sent to IrohinOdua, Pastor Joshua received commendations for his prominent services to mankind.
“We see in his handiwork, a quiet revolution to transform the world in ways unimaginable. Since we blew the whistle for nomination, we have received incalculable, baffling testimonials from royals and ordinary street folks leading us to a hidden light in a dark, malicious world where the poor remain the dreg and the end butt of repression, neglect and perpetual want,” Adekele continued.
