Honouring Evangelist Bannerman Timitula Embiowei
Celebrating a Living Legend of Faith, Song, and Service
As the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) celebrates 40 glorious years of spiritual impact, we join the Body of Christ and the people of Bayelsa State in honouring one of our finest treasures — Evangelist Bannerman Timitula Embiowei, fondly known as Bannerman.
A pioneer of gospel music in the Niger Delta, Bannerman’s voice has echoed through generations, stirring revival, transforming hearts, and inspiring faith across communities. From his early days as one of the foundational gospel minstrels who sang during the inauguration of the PFN in 1985, to this moment of recognition four decades later, his journey stands as a testimony of unwavering devotion and tireless service to the Kingdom of God.
As a minister of the gospel, evangelist, and pastor, Evangelist Bannerman Embiowei has effectively combined the pulpit and the microphone to proclaim the goodness of God. His songs are not mere melodies — they are messages of hope, healing, and divine truth that have reached countless souls across Bayelsa and beyond. He remains one of the most respected voices in gospel music, whose humility and faithfulness continue to inspire younger generations of Christian musicians.
Beyond his ministry, Evangelist Bannerman is a man of vision and purpose, extending his passion for service from the church to the community. Driven by a deep sense of responsibility to his people, he has declared his ambition to represent the good people of Southern Ijaw Constituency 1 in the Bayelsa State House of Assembly. His aspiration reflects his commitment to serve humanity, promote good governance, and bring integrity, compassion, and godly values into the political space.
Known for his transparency, empathy, and grassroots connection, Bannerman’s entry into public service represents a refreshing blend of spirituality and leadership. His mission is not driven by personal ambition, but by a divine calling to use governance as another pulpit — a platform to uplift his people, empower the youth, and restore faith in leadership through accountability and vision.
As we celebrate his enduring legacy in gospel music and ministry, we also salute his courage to step forward as a servant-leader, ready to translate faith into action and inspiration into transformation.
Evangelist Bannerman Timitula Embiowei — a living legend of faith, song, and service — continues to prove that true leadership begins with a heart for God and a passion for people.
