“Soludo Did Not Ban Prayers In Markets.” – Commissioner Nwosu
Anambra State Commissioner for Information, Sir Paul Nwosu, has made it clear that Governor Chukwuma Soludo did not, at any time, ban Prayers in Markets in the state.
The Commissioner stated this while reacting to some viral insinuations on social media that the Governor has stopped traders from coming together to pray in the markets.
He wondered how the Governor would ban prayers in markets when he starts every day with prayer
“Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, CFR, did not ban prayers in our markets.
“How can Governor Soludo ban prayers in our markets when he starts every day with prayer?”
He asserted that the Governor starts every single day with either a Mass where a Catholic Priest officiates or a Service where an Anglican Reverend or Pentecostal Pastor presides.
“A man who puts premium on morning devotions cannot ask others not to engage in morning prayers,” the Commissioner argued.
He explained that what Mr. Governor alluded to, which was misrepresented, was that traders should hold their morning devotions in a manner that is consistent with their occupation, bearing in mind that customers would have come from far and wide to shop.
Incidentally, a good number of these customers come from outside the state to sleep over so that they can do their shoppings early enough and return to their far-flung destinations.
But when these customers from far places wait for too long without the market stalls being opened, they sadly leave due to frustration.
“This is not good customer care,” Sir Nwosu observed.
The Commissioner urged the traders to start every business week on Mondays with prayers and see how blessings will propel all their endeavours. Prayer, he said, is the master key that ultimately unlocks challenges they might have been facing in their businesses.
