The traditional ruler of Umuawulu, in Awka South Council Area of Anambra State, Igwe Joel Egwuonwu, says the highest resolution the citizens of Anambra state can make to God this year is to embrace Him in its entirety.
Igwe Egwuonwu who spoke to the press in Umuawulu amid the uncertainties in the Nigerian nation and other challenges facing humanity, maintained that God is the answer to all human problems.
According to him, people must appreciate God for His mercies in the current era of the second wave of the global COVID-19 and other turbulent realities.
The Royal father prayed for peace, joy and development in the country.
On the forthcoming gubernatorial election coming up in Anambra state later this year, Igwe Egwuonwu urged the electorate to be mindful of the state’s slogan as the Light of The Nation, and comport themselves in a peaceful manner during the election.
The traditional ruler of Umuawulu further advised Ndi Anambra to desist from destroying the state because of politics, but to strive to elect a governor who has the interest of the state at heart.
He also enjoined the citizenry to continue to abide by all the safety protocols of COVID-19 to stay safe during this second wave of the global pandemic.
On her part, the State Chairperson, League of Women Voters, Dr. Mrs Ego Uzoezie, advised women to engage themselves meaningfully in politics to make appreciable impact on governance.
Dr. Uzoezie, a former Commissioner for Women Affairs in Anambra State, urged the citizens to see COVID-19 as a global emergency and avoid acts capable of spreading the disease.
In their separate reactions, the Cathedral Administrator of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral Parish, Awka, Reverend Father Dr. Matthew Attansey, urged people to take seriously all the COVID-19 safety protocols, while an Onitsha based medical expert, Dr. Patrick Nwagbara, encouraged the citizenry to regularly put on their face masks, noting that people who fail to adhere to the safety measures endanger their lives and those of others.
