The Zaki of Arigidi Akoko, Oba Yisa Olanipekun says the people of the town want the founder of the Synagogue Church of all Nation (SCOAN), Prophet TB Joshua to be buried in the community.
Joshua was a native of the town which is located in Akoko Northwest council area of Ondo state.
The monarch in an interview with newsmen in Arigidi on Sunday evening said the wish of the people is that the late televangelist be buried in the town.
The monarch noted that notable clergymen in the country, most especially Moses Orimolade was buried in his hometown, Ikare.
He said burying him in the town will ensure his legacy remains permanently in Arigidi Akoko.
He said the late clergyman would be remembered for his philanthropic lifestyle which touched every nook and cranny of Akoko land.
He expressed regrets that the global televangelist could not complete a school project he had always discussed with him.
He added that TB Joshua was more interested in bringing people out of poverty.
“He would bring Rice to the people whenever we requested. He hated to see people go hungry. He was instrumental to the electrification of many communities in Akoko land after years of darkness,” the monarch said.
TB Joshua died on Saturday at the age of 57, just few days to his 58th birthday.
