It was jubilation galore for Roman Catholic worshipers in Awka diocese today as  Most Rev Jonas Benson Okoye was consecrated as an Auxiliary Bishop of Awka by the Papal Nuncio, Archbishop Augustine Kusujja reports odogwuemekaodogwu.blogspot.com.

Roman catholic members and non members alike are praying for his peaceful and trouble free episcopate . He is from Adazi Nnukwu , Anaocha local government area of Anambra state.

His consecration is preparatory to Diocese of Aguata even as Archbishop Kusujja was assisted by Archbishop Valerian Okeke and Bishop Paulinus Ezeokafor with the supported of over 40 other Bishops, including John Cardinal Onaiyekan, at St. Patrick Cathedral, Awka.

Bishop Jonas Benson Okoye, is an expert in canon law and a former teacher in the Seminary.  He has handled many controversial cases around Anambra and won even as his love for work in the sense of positive human endeavor is not in doubt.

According to former Governor Peter Obi’s aide Valentine Obienyem who was there live after Bishop Okoye’s  consecration, many photographs were taken, the star photograph being that with Dr. Chris Ngige and Peter Obi ( and his wife).

And to add to that Ngige and Obi engaged in a brotehrly talk discussing about the future of  Anambra with all discernible gesture of friendship.

Obienyem wanted to know what we thought about that and asked , ‘’As far as I am concerned, this gesture tell us about not allowing political differences to affect personal relations and to look at ourselves with fewer delusions’’.

And he went further to demand ‘’, What can you say to this’?
