ABOUT N130 million may have been expended on the final burial of the
founder of the World Soul Winning Evangelistic Ministry (WOSEM), Apostle
Timothy Obadare, in Ilesa, Osun State, last Saturday.
Making the disclosure while fielding questions from newsmen at the
WOSEM Shiloh Ground, Ileki, Ilesa, on Thursday, the first son of the
deceased, Pastor Paul Obadare, hinted that out of this amount, the Osun
State government contributed N35 million.
Giving the details of the expenses at the burial, which attracted
dignitaries, including the Osun State governor, Mr Rauf Aregbesola, he
said the sum of N5 million was spent on casket; N61 million on the
construction of the mausoleum, while N30 million was spent on
entertainment of guests.
While commenting on the succession plan of the church, Pastor Obadare
hinted that efforts were being intensified by the leadership of the
church to appoint a new General Overseer for the church.
“A special meeting of the church executive board will hold very soon
and the major issue that will be discussed at the meeting is the
appointment of new General Overseer for the church.
“We have leaders in the church already, but there is the need to
appoint a new overseer who will preside over the church,” he said.
Obadare, who is currently acting as the leader of WOSEM, contended
that only the church executive board could name his father’s successor,
while he assured that a successor would be announced by the leadership
of the church soon @smoothmedia1
