President Bola Tinubu has sent a message of condolence to the Christian community in Nigeria on the passing of the Founder and General Overseer of All Christians Fellowship Mission (ACFM) and former Chaplain of Aso Villa Chapel, Rev. Dr William Okoye.
The President extended his heartfelt condolences to the family, friends and associates of the cleric, who are united in grief over the home call of a man of deep faith and principle.
He noted that during his tenure as Chaplain of Aso Villa Chapel under the administrations of Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, Rev Okoye greatly contributed to the spiritual growth and well-being of Christians under his pastoral care.
‘‘As a cleric who held several important positions in Christian organisations in Nigeria, Rev Okoye earned the trust and admiration of his followers and the nation beyond the pulpit. He was a strong advocate for unity, patriotism and national development
‘‘From his service as a member of the Presidential Advisory Council on Youth Affairs, the National Political Reform Conference and the Nigerian Christian Pilgrims Commission, Rev. Okoye dedicated himself to building a better society,’’ he said.
President Tinubu prayed for the eternal repose of the soul of the departed servant of God and asks the Almighty to grant comfort and strength to his family, ACFM, and all who mourn this loss.
