He said he was amazed that the popular cleric drove from Lagos to his (Akeredolu’s) home in Ondo State to congratulate him on his victory.
“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,” Akeredolu said.
TB Joshua died aged 57 on June 5.
