Nigerian gospel singer Nathaniel Bassey, has mourned the passing of evangelist Rev. Dr. Uma Ukpai. Bassey, on his Instagram page, lamented the loss, while speaking about Ukpai’s impact on his life and ministry.
Bassey also spoke about a spiritual routine he learnt from Ukpai in his emotional post.
“Oh! Dr Uma! Oh Papa Uma! Sometimes you wish some people would never die. What a man! Just a few days ago, I was inspired to lead multitudes in an evening fast. Something I learnt from you and did mention so. You called me SON. What a privilege. A man of God indeed. One of great power and immense stature, and impact. A man who knew the ways of the spirit, who knew how to deploy praise and worship in spiritual warfare and the supernatural. We ache, but heaven rejoices. Good night, papa,” he stated.
The news of Ukpai’s death was announced on Monday by his family. They also revealed that the reverend passed away on the 6th of October at the age of 80.
