It was a fanfare of red, gleamy white and colourful Christmas as over one thousand children turned up for the 2018 Christmas party hosted by Wife of the Governor, Dr. (Mrs.) Ebelechukwu Obiano, at the Governor’s Lodge, Amawbia.

The Christmas party is an annual ceremony by the Governor’s Wife, to light up the season and usher the Anambra children into the grand occasion of the commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ.

It was a unique aura, spiced up by memorable renditions by the famous Queen Theresa Onuorah and her legendary Original Egedege Africa.

The children, seemingly overwhelmed by the charms and colours of different displays, could not have asked for a grander way to anticipate the less-than-seventy-two-hours, twenty-eighteen Christmas Day.

In her remarks, the Speaker of the Anambra State House of Assembly, Barrister Rita Maduagwu, made a virtual connection between the electric displays on the occasion and Christmas light ups across the state.

The Commissioner for Social Welfare, Children and Women, Lady Ndidi Mezue, said the Governor’s Wife has, through the annual occasion has given the Anambra children a feel of motherly love.

For the state APGA Woman Leader, Lady Chinyere Ibenta, the ceremony exemplifies the biblical injunction of love for children, an injunction that has remained the beacon of Mrs. Obiano’s social
relations.

The participating children, obviously elated, applauded the convener of the Christmas party, for availing them a memorable way to herald the Christmas celebration.
