NEWS AND UPDATE ON PROPHET OLOWERE EXIT FROM THIS SINFUL WORLD...
Leading CAC Prophet, Pastor Michael Olowere, Baba Automatic dies at 98.
A leading light in the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) Mission, Pastor Michael Ojo Olowere on Wednesday passed on at his Asi-Bodija residence in Ibadan, Oyo State at 98 years.
Born 9th September 1925 and known as Baba Automatic Olowere, he was an ardent follower of one of the pillars of the Mission, late Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola.
Baba Olowere has been in the ministry for over 60years and planted many CAC branches until he started the famous CAC Oke-Imole, Agbowo in Ibadan in 1978 where he was until his death on Wednesday. One of the memorials of CAC Oke-Imole was the musical album, โOunje to to si mi, maa ma fi fun ajaโ (The food that should be for me, do not give it to a dog).
One of the outstanding characteristics of Baba Automatic Olowere was his humility as we saw how he knelt down before the 8th CAC President, Pastor S.O. Oladele who is far younger to him in age and ministry, during his inauguration in Ibadan.
The famous Prophet is blessed with seven children, two males and five females. Only one of his sons, Samuel Olowere is full time in ministry as it was gathered that the other gentleman leaves abroad.
Baba was closer to the Ogunrantis who were almost a family of CAC Pastors. Late Pastor Ayo Ogunranti who annually organizes National Youth Camp during Easter period was Principal of the Ibadan Christ Apostolic Grammar School, Aperin Oniyere Ibadan and his elder brother Pastor Ogunranti who was married to a former Nurse at the University of Ibadan but upon her calling started the CAC Oke Bethel located inside the campus with her Husband.
Baba Olowere has many sons in the Lord some of who are not serving within the CAC Fold including Rev. Eniola Olatunji who he specially prayed for before Rev Olatunji started a Chuch work in Abuja though Baba Olowere it was said had Rev Olatunjiโs father, late Pa Michael Olatunji Kassim as an associate from the 60s when Pa Kassim was the Treble Leader of the CAC Central Choir of Ibadan.
It was difficult contacting Pastor Samuel Olowere as we were told he is receiving visitors at Babaโs residence and could not take any call until further notice.
We also learnt that the leadership of the CAC met on Thursday morning and told the family that the Church will play key role in babaโs burial but details will be announced by the family. It was also gathered that baba may not be buried at the CAC burial ground at Aperin Ibadan as the space there has been long exhausted.
