Reacting to the video in a post shared on social media, Daddy Freeze explained why he has consistently maintained a cordial relationship with Pastor Idowu despite being an outspoken critic of several other religious leaders.
He said many people have questioned why he regards Pastor Idowu as a friend and why he has refrained from criticising him in the same manner as others.
“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.
He described the pastor’s actions as a practical demonstration of Christian compassion, adding that genuine acts of kindness often speak louder than words.
