The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has mourned the death of former Aso Rock Villa Chaplain and Founder of All Christians Fellowship Mission, Rev. Dr. William Uzochukwu Okoye, describing him as ‘a faithful shepherd’ whose passing is a great loss to the Church in Nigeria.
Rev. Okoye was one of Nigeria’s leading Pentecostal clerics. Over the years, he served as Chairman of CAN, Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Chapter, Chairman of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), FCT Chapter, CAN National Director on National Issues and Social Welfare, and Chaplain to two Presidents of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
In a statement on Thursday by its President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, CAN condoled with Rev. Okoye’s widow, Rev. Mrs. Toyin Okoye, his children, the entire Okoye family, the leadership and members of All Christians Fellowship Mission, the PFN and the wider Christian community.
The association also remembered his late first wife, Mrs. Helen Okoye, who stood with him in ministry until her passing a few years ago.
