President Muhammadu Buhari has said he is deeply saddened over the death of Rev. Moses Iloh, the General Overseer of Soul Winning Chapel.
Buhari extended his heartfelt condolences to Rev. Iloh’s family, friends, associates and the Christian community in Nigeria, who mourn the demise of an exceptional statesman and religious leader.

“The President trusts that Rev Iloh – the philanthropist, labour leader, humanist, sportsman, and great teacher of the gospel- will be long remembered and honoured as a worthy patriot who stood for social justice, peace and truth.
“President Buhari urges all who mourn Dr. Iloh, who has left a worthy and commendable legacy for other patriotic Nigerians to build upon, to always be inspired by his deep love, devotion and dedication to humanity.
“The President prays Almighty God to grant the deceased eternal rest and comfort all those he left behind.”
