The Speaker of the Anambra State House of Assembly, Right Honourble Uche Okafor has urged Nigerians to make the interest of the nation a priority in all their endeavours.

He urged affluent citizens to commit part of their resources in touching lives.

 

Right Honourble Okafor enjoined Ndi Anambra to use the period to show more love to one another and generate the much-needed support for Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s administration.

 

The State number one lawmaker who called on the citizenry especially different religious bodies in the State to continue to pray for the peace and Progress of the State, prayed God to give Governor Soludo the grace and enablement to pilot the affairs of the State.
