At the funeral of Dr. Alice Mosunmola Apata, who led the Good Women Society of Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) Worldwide, in Ibadan, Oyo State, at the weekend, the church prayed for restoration of peace and quality leadership for the country.
The church seized the occasion to pray for unity and peace within the CAC fold in Nigeria in the light of the prolonged crises within. Addressing the congregation during the funeral service, one of her sons, Richard Kolawole, attributed the current state of the nation to the self-centred attitude of politicians.
He, however, urged the political class to emulate the rare virtues of the deceased for the growth of the church. The President of CAC Worldwide, Dr. Henry Ojo, urged Christians in the country to make good use of their time on earth. Ojo said: “Time waits for nobody. There will be a time we will all be remembered just like our mummy, Alice. If you use your time wisely and positively, you would be remembered for good and this would wait for you in heaven. You will be asked about the impact you made and roles you played while alive. God is watching how you use your time.
“Today, all of us gathered here because of the courageous woman. She was so courageous. She stood her ground when there was leadership tussle in CAC. She stood firm for justice and insisted that things must be done in accordance with the law.” The funeral of the late Mrs. Apata, who passed on at 101 years on October 23, 2022, was attended by Christian worshippers in CAC from across the country.
