Ikpeazu Salutes Abians At Easter, Urges For Prayer To Overcome COVID-19

The Governor of Abia State State, Okezie Ikpeazu, PhD has urged the people of Abia State to use this period of Easter to renew their hope and faith in the ability of the Almighty God to intervene in the affairs of humanity.

In his Easter message to the people of the State, Governor Ikpeazu is asking the people of the State to see the difficulties and challenges of this period as an opportunity to reaffirm their confidence in God and pray for the continued protection of God upon our people.

Urging Christians in the State not to allow the present challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic to make them lose sight of the power of God, the Governor made it clear God is more than able to bring the current situation under control, even as governments all over the world struggle to do their best at a time like this.

In a release signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Onyebuchi Ememanka made available to ABN TV, Governor Ikpeazu further urged Christians not to lose sight of the message of Easter which remains the fulcrum upon which our Christian faith revolves, restating that the death and resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ remain the most significant events that shape and define our Christian faith.

On the COVID-19 pandemic which remains a potent threat across the world, Governor Ikpeazu expresses his gratitude to God Almighty for His grace upon our State so far and assures the people of the State that his administration has put adequate steps in place should there a case in the State. The Governor strongly urges our people to abide by all the protocols on personal hygiene as enunciated by the Nigeria Center for Disease Control (NCDC) including regular hand washing, social distancing and the regular use of face masks.
These measures, the Governor noted, are critical to the sustenance of our current zero COVID-19 status.

The Governor is thankful to men and women of goodwill who have so far answered the clarion call and have reached out to the people of our State by their generous donations at this difficult period and prayed God Almighty to bless them and replenish their source.

He assured further that the palliative food items and cash given to churches by his administration will continue and be extended to our people further through Town Unions and Traditional Rulers in the days ahead, urging the recipient organizations to apply the highest discretion in the distribution of the items.

The Governor, on behalf of his family, wishes the entire good people of Abia State a happy and hopeful Easter Celebration.
