Evangelical Ministry, (WOSEM) had been on sick bed for sometimes before he

arrangement saying his eldest son would discuss the burial arrangement.

fact is that baba has passed on to glory, so the burial arrangement will
be announced later"

Governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko said that the death of Pastor Obadare,
is an example of the marching on of a saint.

Secretary, Mr Eni Akinsola, Obadare's life, ministry and influence can be
likened to those of saints, rare and uncommon.
"In his way of life, concern for the lost
soul and uplifting of the name of God, Obadare stands tall among the prophets
of his generation and broke barriers that health attempted to place on his way.
He was consistent and controlled, aggressive yet unobstructive and had no
pretensions about his faith and God, "
"Prophet Obadare made the life of the poor
and the down trodden his and helped many re-discover their connections to God
His strident cries against sin and warnings to those departing from what is
right and just will be sorely missed," Mimiko said.
Similarly the state Chapter of Christian
Association of Nigeria (CAN) prophet Obadare would be missed for his the roles
played in the association when he was alive.
Speaking with Newswatch, the Deputy President of
CAN in the state, Rev Nelson Fadoju said " we will surely miss him, Ondo
