ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- The Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodinma has called on every residents to pray for the quick intervention of God in the affairs of the State.
Uzodinma made the call on Sunday at the Golden Jubilee Church Service of the marriage between Prof Maurice Iwu and his wife, Kate, at the St. Thomas Moore Catholic Church, New Owerri.
According to him, every day he commits to God in his prayers for a change of heart, for those involved in killings, kidnappings and other forms of evil deeds in the state.
The Governor reiterated that the prosperity which citizens are asking for is impossible without peace.
He said: “But in all these, it will be practically impossible when we don’t have peace.
“What is happening in Imo State in terms of insecurity is unnecessary and when we are looking for development of Imo State and how our state will be the best in our country and or ask for prosperity to be in our state it will be practically impossible if we don’t have peace.”
He therefore, enjoined everyone to pray to Almighty God to touch the heart of those behind the insecurity in Imo State “because they know themselves and may be here in the Church.”
The Governor wondered how a man will sit at a place, plan how people will be killed and the next day will be in church.
“To do what?” he asked rhetorically.
