Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Monday attended the night of tributes held in honour of Nomthi Odukoya, wife of the senior pastor of Fountain of Life Church Taiwo Odukoya.
The night of tributes was held at the Fountain of Life Church located in the Ilupeju area of Lagos.
The funeral service will hold on Tuesday from 11 am at the same venue.
Mr Sanwo-Olu in an Instagram post prayed for comfort for the bereaved family.
“May God continue to strengthen Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, their Children, and all their loved ones. And may Pastor Nomthi’s soul continue to rest with Almighty God. Amen,” he wrote.
Nomthi died at the age of 47 after fighting cancer for two years.
The South African married Odukoya in 2010. She had two boys — Jomiloju and Timilehin — with him.
Nomthi was Odukoya’s second wife after his first Pastor Bimbo Odukoya died in a plane crash in 2005. Bimbo had two children with Odukoya – Jimmy Odukoya and Tolu Odukoya-Ijogun.
