The Governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu, has claimed that the late founder of the Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN), Prophet T.B Joshua, gave him money when he won his first election.

Akeredolu stated this during the funeral service for Joshua on Friday.

According to him,

the late Prophet drove from Lagos to his (Akeredolu) Ondo home when he won his first governorship election to wish him well and at the end of their meeting, Akeredulu said the cleric gave him money to entertain his guests.

“When I won election to be governor of Ondo State, T.B Joshua drove to Ondo State to wish me well and when he was leaving, he put money in my pocket and said, ‘as a governor, you’ll need money to entertain people.

“He also gave me money to give to my wife. I must testify openly to what T.B Joshua did for me.”
