The Senior Special Assistant on Media to the Delta State Governor, Mr. Ossai Success, has expressed strong disappointment over the wave of online mockery directed at Pastor Jerry Eze, Lead Pastor of Streams of Joy International, following the death of Nollywood actor Alex Ekubo.
Pastor Jerry Eze came under heavy criticism on social media after a photo of him praying for the late actor resurfaced. Critics mocked the clergyman, claiming he failed to heal Ekubo, who had been battling cancer for a protracted period before his death on Tuesday.
In a reaction posted on his official Facebook page, Ossai condemned the attacks, affirming his belief in divine healing and miracles.
“I’m disappointed in those mocking Pastor Jerry Eze for praying for Alex Ekubo, just because he still died of cancer,” Ossai wrote.
“Whether you like it or not, God is still in the business of healing and miracles. Don’t laugh your way to self-destruction. The fact that Alex was prayed for doesn’t mean he couldn’t die. God knows what is best.”
The statement has sparked mixed reactions online, with some supporting Ossai’s position on faith and prayer, while others continue to debate the role of spiritual intervention in cases of terminal illness.
Alex Ekubo’s death has drawn tributes from across the Nigerian entertainment industry.
