President Muhammadu Buhari has joined Christendom at large
in mourning the passing of renowned evangelist, Reinhard Bonnke, 79, describing
his transition as a great loss to Nigeria, Africa and the entire world.
A statement issued in Abuja on Saturday by Femi Adesina,
Special Adviser to the President (Media & Publicity), said the President
condoled with government and people of Germany, family and friends of the great
preacher and teacher of the Bible, and all his co-labourers in the vineyard,
praying that the good Lord will comfort all those that mourn him.

President Buhari affirmed that Bonnke’s crusades in Nigeria,
across Africa and the globe strongly accentuated the message of Jesus Christ,
and his vision and zeal for the salvation of souls clearly helped the world in
understanding the power of love and kindness as the universal language.
The President prayed that the Almighty God will accept the
soul of the departed preacher, believing that his legendary contributions to
the body of Christ in teaching and writing will always be remembered by
posterity.
