ABUJA (PRECISE POST) – Presidential candidate of the National Democratic Coalition (NDC) in the forthcoming 2027 general election, Peter Obi has mourned the death of Rev. Dr. William Okoye, saying that Okoye belonged to the generation of spiritual leaders who understood that the true measure of ministry is not in the size of its platforms but in the depth of its impact on humanity.
In a condolence message released on his X handle on Thursday morning, saddened Obi described late Okoye as a distinguished servant of God whose life was defined by deep faith, sacrificial service, and commitment to raising men and women of integrity.
According to him, “through his teachings, leadership, and personal example, Okoye inspired countless people to live lives of purpose, righteousness, discipline, and hope.”
“His passing is a great loss to his family, the entire All Christians Fellowship Mission (ACFM), the Body of Christ, and our dear nation, Nigeria, at a time when our country yearns for voices that unite, heal, and inspire people to pursue justice, peace, and compassion,” Obi added.
Obi’s tribute reads in full:
“It is with profound sadness that I received the news of the homegoing of my elder brother, Rev. Dr. William Okoye, a distinguished servant of God whose life was defined by deep faith, sacrificial service, and commitment to raising men and women of integrity.”
“Rev. Okoye belonged to that rare generation of spiritual leaders who understood that the true measure of ministry is not in the size of its platforms but in the depth of its impact on humanity.
