ACI Afrique, 26 nov. 2024 \/ 11h19 (CNA).<\/p>\n

Le p\u00e8re Thomas Oleghe, le plus vieux pr\u00eatre du Nigeria, est d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 \u00e0 l'\u00e2ge de 104 ans.<\/p>\n

Oleghe est d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 aux premi\u00e8res heures du 24 novembre, en la Solennit\u00e9 du Christ-Roi<\/a>, a annonc\u00e9 l'\u00e9v\u00eaque du Dioc\u00e8se d'Auchi<\/a> dans un communiqu\u00e9.<\/p>\n

\u00ab Avec gratitude envers Dieu pour une vie bien v\u00e9cue sur terre, je vous informe par la pr\u00e9sente du passage vers l'au-del\u00e0 du R\u00e9v\u00e9rend Monseigneur Thomas Oleghe, le plus vieux pr\u00eatre catholique du Nigeria \u00e0 ce jour, survenu vers 2h30 ce matin, le 24 novembre 2024 \u00bb, a \u00e9crit l'\u00e9v\u00eaque Gabriel Ghiakhomo Dunia<\/a> dans le communiqu\u00e9.<\/p>\n

L'\u00e9v\u00eaque a annonc\u00e9 que les fun\u00e9railles d'Oleghe auront lieu le 27 novembre. <\/p>\n

\u00ab Que son \u00e2me aimante et douce continue de reposer dans une paix parfaite. Amen \u00bb, a pri\u00e9 Dunia.<\/p>\n

N\u00e9 en f\u00e9vrier 1920, Oleghe a \u00e9t\u00e9 ordonn\u00e9 pr\u00eatre en d\u00e9cembre 1957. Il a servi dans diverses paroisses du dioc\u00e8se d'Auchi, notamment la paroisse Saint-Jean-l'Ap\u00f4tre d'Igarra, o\u00f9 il a initi\u00e9 des r\u00e9formes qui ont jet\u00e9 les bases du statut glorieux de l'\u00e9glise aujourd'hui.<\/p>\n

Dans une d\u00e9claration, l'ancien gouverneur de l'\u00c9tat d'Edo, Godwin Obaseki, a fait l'\u00e9loge d'Oleghe, le qualifiant de \u00ab grand missionnaire de la foi catholique \u00bb.<\/p>\n

\u00ab Je suis profond\u00e9ment attrist\u00e9 par la nouvelle du d\u00e9c\u00e8s du plus vieux pr\u00eatre catholique du Nigeria, Mgr Thomas Oleghe \u00bb, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Obaseki.<\/p>\n

\u00ab C'\u00e9tait un pr\u00eatre d\u00e9vou\u00e9 et compatissant qui a \u0153uvr\u00e9 pour la croissance de la foi chr\u00e9tienne et le d\u00e9veloppement de sa communaut\u00e9. Il est rest\u00e9 une source d'inspiration pour beaucoup et un mod\u00e8le que de nombreux jeunes admiraient \u00bb, a-t-il d\u00e9clar\u00e9.<\/p>\n

\u00ab Je c\u00e9l\u00e8bre son service percutant envers Dieu et l'humanit\u00e9, et je salue son travail dans la vigne du Seigneur dans l'\u00c9tat d'Edo, o\u00f9 il a servi pendant de nombreuses ann\u00e9es en promouvant la paix et le d\u00e9veloppement \u00bb, a ajout\u00e9 Obaseki.<\/p>\n

En exprimant ses condol\u00e9ances \u00e0 l'\u00e9v\u00eaque Dunia et \u00e0 toute la communaut\u00e9 catholique nig\u00e9riane, Obaseki a pri\u00e9 pour que \u00ab Dieu accorde \u00e0 tous la force de supporter cette perte irr\u00e9parable \u00bb.<\/p>\n

Pendant ce temps, le s\u00e9nateur repr\u00e9sentant Edo North, Adams Oshiomhole, a exprim\u00e9 sa tristesse suite au d\u00e9c\u00e8s du pr\u00eatre. <\/p>\n

Dans une d\u00e9claration, Oshiomhole a d\u00e9crit Oleghe comme un \u00ab parangon d'humilit\u00e9 sacerdotale et un fervent d\u00e9fenseur des valeurs chr\u00e9tiennes \u00bb. <\/p>\n

Il a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que la vie du regrett\u00e9 pr\u00eatre catholique \u00e9tait un \u00ab t\u00e9moignage brillant des vertus de foi, d'humilit\u00e9 et de d\u00e9votion \u00bb.<\/p>\n

\u00ab Son d\u00e9part est une perte profonde, non seulement pour notre dioc\u00e8se mais pour la nation tout enti\u00e8re. M\u00eame si nous le pleurons, nous sommes r\u00e9confort\u00e9s par l'assurance que sa vie marquante a r\u00e9sonn\u00e9 aupr\u00e8s de Dieu, qui l'a b\u00e9ni par la long\u00e9vit\u00e9 avant de l'appeler au repos \u00e9ternel \u00bb, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Oshiomhole.<\/p>\n
