In a heartfelt tribute to the late Evangelist, President Tinubu said that Dr Ukpai was one of the Christian leaders who triggered the revival sweeping across Nigeria and parts of Africa in the 1980s.
Describing Dr Ukpai as one of God’s generals, BAT stated that the deceased’s mission was clearly to unite the Christian fold and different faiths while spreading peace and harmony.
“With a heavy heart, I mourn the passing of one of God’s generals, Dr Uma Ukpai. Reverend Ukpai was not just another preacher; he was an anointed crusader of the faith, filled with fire and ice for the gospel and restoring humanity to discipline, love, and good neighbourliness,” he wrote.
