“Egbon Yinka,” his tribute continued, “Your sudden passage is hard to understand, yet we bow respectfully to the sovereignty of God while we remain thankful for the decades of impactful work along with the exemplary life you lived while you were with us. As a dear egbon to me, even though you were older, we were close friends and I thank you for allowing me to be your pastor and spiritual father. The thought that I will return to church and not see you again on this side of the divide, is unbelievable. I have not been able to process this loss. However, I am sure of how much we will all miss you.”
He also used the opportunity to warn Nigerians to adhere to strict health rules as Covid-19 is still on the rampage.
Yinka Akinbami was survived by his wife, children, and grandchildren.
