"My husband was my confidante, counsellor and protector"- late Moderator's wife
Mrs Madeleine Akpene Kadji-Agidi, the wife of the
late Very Reverend Dr Seth Senyo Agidi, the
immediate past Moderator of the General Assembly
of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church Ghana has
described the husband as a confidant confidante,
counsellor and protector.








"I already missed Senyo my husband greatly. Who am
I going to share the precious time and
conversation with, "She asked in a tribute to her
husband.

The Very Rev Dr Agidi died in office after a short
illness at the Ho Teaching Hospital on October 10,
2020.

The 65-year old Moderator, succeeded Very Rev
Francis Amenu, as the second Moderator of the
General Assembly of the Church, since the change
from the Synod status.

The immediate past Moderator trained as a teacher
and later attended the Trinity Theological
Seminary, Legon which is affiliated to the
University of Ghana.

He later pursued a postgraduate studies at the
Eden Theological Seminary, United States of
America.

Mrs Kadji-Agidi said it was difficult to explain
the feeling of waking up in their dream house
without the partner to share the said dream.

She said it hurts her greatly to see their dream
house materialized and described the husband as a
peace loving person who never got angry nor held
grudges for long.

"He preferred to make known his displeasure and
then let go of the issue" she added.

She also described the husband as a man, who
through his selflessness could go months without
his salary, but ensured that all other workers
were paid their salaries.

She said regardless of the daunting demands of his
Ministry, he made time for his family.

"Our Children are his pride, he took keen interest
in each child's development including; those who
are not our biological Children," she said.

Mrs Kadji-Agidi said the late husband combined
discipline with love, strictness with flexibility
to train the Children and truly loved his family,
but loved the E.P Church Ghana more than his own
life.

"All these sacrifices, hard work and dedication to
God's work, precisely, the E.P Church Ghana had a
devastating effect on his health," she added.

She said her husband's faith was in God, his heart
was his family and his blood was the E.P Church
Ghana.

The late Very Rev Dr Agidi was married with four
children.

Earlier, a letter addressed to Presbytery
Moderators of the Church and signed by Dr Emmanuel
Komla Amey, Clerk of the General Assembly of the
Church said due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the

The directive is to minimize the spread of the
