Nigeria: Anglican Primate Visits Converts 150 Years After First Mission


From Nigeria-

Playing host to the primate and his team, the Ewi of Ado-Ekiti and paramount ruler of the Ewi Kingdom said his own grand father came in contact with the Anglican Communion during that time.

According to him, Okoh was the first to visit the ancient palace of Ado-Ekiti a century and a half after.

The Ewi made this known when Ewi-in- Council hosted Okoh and his entourage during his Episcopal visit to the ecclesiastical province of Ondo recently

He said the prayers of the righteous availeth much. According to him, the turbulent past of intertribal wars which ravaged Ekiti land was overcome through the fervent prayers of their fathers and the words of God that prevailed.

He congratulated the primate on his election and asked that God will grant him robust health.

He said the primate came at the nick of time when politicians need to be told of the need to allow votes to count in 2011. The Ewi said Primate Okoh should continue to sensitize the generality of the populace to follow the Anglican example.

He said the Anglican Communion had been of tremendous assistance in all its ramifications especially in the field of education, because it was the Anglican that established Christ school, Ado-Ekiti.
