CAN MOURNS FORMER ASO ROCK CHAPLAIN, REV. WILLIAM OKOYE


The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has expressed deep sorrow over the death of the Founder and General Overseer of All Christians Fellowship Mission, Rev. Dr. William Uzochukwu Okoye, describing him as a faithful servant of God whose legacy of leadership and service will continue to inspire generations.

In a statement issued on Thursday, CAN President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, extended condolences to the late cleric's wife, Rev. Mrs. Toyin Okoye, his children, members of the All Christians Fellowship Mission, the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), and the wider Christian community.

Archbishop Okoh said Rev. Okoye devoted his life to preaching the Gospel, mentoring leaders, and promoting unity and growth within the Church in Nigeria.

He noted that the late cleric held several key leadership positions during his lifetime, including serving as Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Federal Capital Territory (FCT) chapter, Chairman of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), FCT chapter, and later as CAN's National Director on National Issues and Social Welfare.

Rev. Okoye also served on the Presidential Advisory Council on Youth Affairs, the National Political Reform Conference, and the Nigerian Christian Pilgrims Commission. He was chaplain to two Nigerian presidents and headed the Aso Rock Villa Chapel.

Reflecting on his life and service, Archbishop Okoh described him as a humble and dedicated leader who carried out every assignment with wisdom, grace, and unwavering commitment.

"I remember Rev. Okoye as a humble servant of God who carried every responsibility entrusted to him with wisdom, grace, and unwavering dedication. He was deeply committed to the unity of the Church and was always willing to lend his voice and experience whenever called upon," the CAN President said.

He added that Rev. Okoye's counsel, calm disposition, and passion for advancing the Christian faith would be greatly missed.

Archbishop Okoh prayed for God's comfort and strength for the bereaved family, the All Christians Fellowship Mission, and all those mourning the respected cleric, asking God to uphold them during the difficult period.

The death of Rev. William Uzochukwu Okoye marks the end of a distinguished ministry characterised by decades of service to the Church, national leadership, and Christian unity in Nigeria.
