Rest in peace
CONDOLENCE MESSAGE BY THE EZZA LEGACY CIRCLE
The Ezza Legacy Circle received with profound shock and deep sorrow the news of the passing unto glory of His Lordship, Most Rev. Dr. Peter Nworie Chukwu, Catholic Bishop of Abakaliki Diocese.
While our hearts are heavy with grief, we remain in total submission to the will of Almighty God, who gives and takes according to His divine purpose.
His Lordship was more than a spiritual leader; he was a father figure to the Ezza Nation, a true servant of God whose life embodied humility, wisdom, compassion, and uncommon receptiveness.
His episcopal ministry was marked by grace, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to the service of God and humanity. Indeed, this is one death too many, and his absence will be deeply felt across all strata of society.
On behalf of the Ezza Legacy Circle, we extend our heartfelt condolences to the Catholic Church, the entire Christian community, and the Ezza Nation at large. We share in your grief and stand united in prayer at this moment of great loss.
We pray that the Almighty God, whom he served faithfully, will receive his gentle soul into eternal rest and grant him perfect peace in His heavenly kingdom.
May his legacy of faith, humility, and service continue to inspire generations.
May his soul rest in peace. Amen.
