The Edo State Governor, Mr Godwin Obaseki, has mourned the death of philosopher, preacher, Baptist minister and scholar, Prof. Osadolor Imasogie, who passed on Tuesday, January 25, 2022.
In a statement, the governor noted that Prof. Imasogie was a great and nobleman, who throughout his lifetime sought to find answers to life’s most dizzying puzzles. Kind and forthright, he was pious in his devotion to God and his ecclesiastic pursuit.
According to him, “A leader of Nigeria’s Baptist movement, he served as a guide to the many students who passed through the Baptist Seminary, Ogbomosho and a philosopher, who parsed the nibbling questions that confronted the Church and its role in the African society.
“As President Emeritus of the Nigerian Baptist Theological Seminary, Ogbomoso and former President, Nigerian Baptist Convention, Prof. Imasogie defined a new paradigm in the Christian fold and advanced noble ideas to bring people closer to God.
