Governor Chukwuma Soludo last Saturday joined the Anglican Community in praying for peace and progress of Anambra State.

 

Held at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka, Governor Soludo with his Deputy, Dr Onyekachukwu Ibezim took part in the annual prayer rally where evangelism and prayers for liberation, peace and progress of the state took the center stage.

 

Governor Soludo in his speech called for the unity of all the Churches in the State, adding that true ecumenism will foster peace and progress of Anambra State.

 

While emphasizing that Anambra is a Christian State, Governor Soludo tasked the Church to always play its part in ensuring a better life for Ndi Anambra, especially the downtrodden.

 

The Governor appreciated them for their role in building a modest society through evangelism, quality education and healthcare and appealed to the church to take more care of the poor through reduction of school fees in its schools so as to give every child equal opportunity.

 

Governor Soludo promised to keep doing his best to enthrone a peaceful and progressive Anambra State, adding that the agenda of a livable and prosperous Anambra State is driven by compassion and transformation.

 

He pledged to always partner the Church to sustain positive change and promised to keep giving value to Ndi Anambra all through his administration.

 

The congregation prayed for Governor Soludo, his Solution team and the entire Anambra State to succeed and be secured.

 

The State Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, Barrister Ifeatu Obi-Okoye, was also present at the annual prayer rally.
