Bishop Emmanuel Chukwuma, The Anglican Archbishop of the Province of Enugu

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has joined in eulogising the Most Reverend Dr. Emmanuel O. Chukwuma, OON, Archbishop of Enugu Ecclesiastical Province and the Bishop of Enugu Diocese, Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion as he attains the age of 68.

Ohanaeze, in a statement by Chiedozie Alex Ogbonnia, its National Publicity Secretary, listed the sterling qualities of the clergyman noting that the most admired of the qualities “is the courage with which he speaks truth to power.”

Full text of the statement reads:

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide joins the numerous faithful and well-wishers to salute His Grace, Most Reverend Dr. Emmanuel O. Chukwuma, OON, the Archbishop of Enugu Ecclesiastical Province and the Bishop of Enugu Diocese, Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion as he attains the age of 68.

Ohanaeze Ndigbo has noted with immense satisfaction the zeal, steadfastness and commitment that Archbishop Chukwuma has often shown in everything Igbo. His contributions in the Imeobi Ohanaeze and various Ohanaeze special committees are legendary. Of special admiration is his exceptional application of the ecclesiastical moral authority in reconciling the diverse Igbo interest groups. The exemplary roles of Archbishop Chukwuma in Ohanaeze reminds us of the pre-eminence of Anioma personages such as Chief Denis Osadebey, Col. Joe Achuzia and Ambassador Ralph Uwechue, all of blessed memory; and His Royal Majesty, Professor Chike Edozien, the Asagba of Asaba, among others.

Ohanaeze has followed with keen interest and utmost delight the footprints of Archbishop Chukwuma as the Chaplain to the former Archbishop of Nigeria, Most Rev. T. O. Olufisoye; First Bishop of the Missionary Diocese of Bauchi and the Bishop of Enugu before his elevation as the Archbishop of the Enugu Ecclesiastical Province.

As a charismatic change agent, Chukwuma has built Cathedrals, Bishop Courts, created dioceses, planted churches, specialist hospitals, higher institutions, secondary and primary schools, etc. Above all, he attends to the needy and the vulnerable with priestly mien. He is an Igbo quintessence.

Perhaps, the most admired of the sterling qualities in the Archbishop is the courage with which he speaks truth to power.

The President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Ambassador Professor George Obiozor wishes the Archbishop many more years in good health.

Chiedozie Alex Ogbonnia, National Publicity Secretary, Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide
