A former Health Minister of Ghana, Dr. George Adjah Sipa-Yankey, has eulogized late Nigerian televangelist, Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua popularly referred to as TB Joshua.

He was speaking in Lagos at a memorial held for the prophet on Day 4 of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) weeklong funeral and burial ceremony.
The former minister was quick to add that despite all his brilliant and exemplary values, TB Joshua was not immune to envy and unjustified attacks.
According to him, because TB Joshua live the life of Christ, “…it is not surprising that he is the most respected and most awesome teacher, preacher, healer, giver and philanthropist of our time. He is an epitomy of love simplicity, honesty, respect and generosity.
“And so you could see this is evidence from his own teaching and the life that he led by giving both financial and material to the poor, to the needy, to the orphaned to the aged, all over the world not only in Nigeria and this is the true life of as Christian.
He continued: “And you know, it is for these good things that is why he is loved by many but envied and unjustifiably attacked by very few, as that is what happens all the time.
“So this is a true man of God and a man that, he exudes confidence and simplicity, as a man he was loved. If you ask me the meaning of love …. for me, Dr. Yankey, my definition of love is Prophet TB Joshua,” he stressed.
Sipah-Yankey was not the only top Ghanaian personality to join the funeral, Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemeng, vice presidential candidate of the opposition NDC was in Lagos representing former president John Dramani Mahama.
GhanaWeb checks indicate that former Sports Minister Elvis Afriyie Ankrah was part of that delegation as was Shirley Ayittey and Prof Joshua Alabi.
