President Bola Tinubu has commiserated with the Catholic Church and the Body of Christ over the passing of the Bishop emeritus of Catholic Diocese of Ekiti, Most Reverend Michael Olatunji Fagun.
Fagun served as auxiliary bishop of the old Ondo Diocese from 1971 to 1972, before Pope Paul VI created the Diocese of AdAdo-Ekiti.
The President also sent his condolences to the Fagun family and all those who mourn the departed clergyman.
‘Most Reverend Fagun lived for the expansion of the gospel in Nigeria and other parts of the world, taking his evangelism to the grassroots and ensuring that the teaching of God’s word was backed with charity.
‘Most commendable were the efforts of the priest and polyglot in reflecting the sacrifices, simplicity, and humility of Christ, since he was ordained in July 1965 and consecrated a bishop in October 1971. I believe the good works and legacy of Most Reverend Fagun will always be remembered’, the President says.
He prayed that God Almighty will receive Fagun’s soul and grant him eternal rest.
