“We may disagree, and we do often, but this is humanity. This is what Christ would have done. Even me, I dey learn. Baba used his car to carry people wey dey inside flood. Then people ask why he’s my guy and why I should respect him,” Daddy Freeze said in a video shared online.
He added that Pastor Idowu’s actions reflected genuine Christian love and compassion, stressing that acts of kindness speak louder than words.
