The state chief executive stressed the need for members of St. Thomas Anglican Church in Diobu to remain steadfast and congratulated them on sustaining the ideals of the founding fathers for the past 100 years; “Do not run to one Pentecostal Church or the other but ensure the word of God continues as there is a reward for good work. “I appreciate all members of the St. Thomas Anglican Church, Diobu for the achievements so far in the past 100 years,” Amaechi said.
In his sermon, the Dean, Church of Nigeria and Archbishop, Province of Niger Delta, The Most Reverend Ignatius Kattey condemned the rate at which people kill and maim fellow humans and congratulated the church for 100 years of evangelism.
