Ikpeazu Urges Christians To Pray For Leaders

In Umuahia, capital of Abia State, Governor Okezie Ikpeazu has called on christians to pray for wisdom for those in authority to enable them lead the people with the fear of God.
Ikpeazu made the call in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Enyinnaya Appolos, on the commemoration of Easter in Umuahia.
He urged Christians to follow the footsteps of Jesus Christ in making sacrifices for the good of others.
Ikpeazu also called on christians to renew their hope in God in the course of celebrating this year’s Easter.
The governor also appealed to them to make necessary sacrifices to ensure peace and development of Abia and the nation at large
“It is the duty of christians to renew their hope in God, because a renewed hope in God will encourage them to attain great heights,” he said.
In a related development a renowned businessman Dr Olusola Ayandele has also advised Christians to embrace peace and tolerate one another, regardless differences, to assist in developing the nation.
He gave the advice in his special Easter message in Ibadan.
Ayandele said the occasion underscored the lessons embedded in the life, cruxification and resurrection of Jesus Christ as a symbol of humility, love and endurance.
“Nigeria is a country of diversity, but this could be managed in such a way that we could use the same diversity to achieve greatness as a people.
“To this end, it becomes imperative to prevail on those responsible for the incessant cases of wanton killings and violence in parts of the country to desist from such dastardly acts, he said.
He, however, warned that failure to refrain from their ungodly activities would attract the wrath of God on them.
“It is time we all supported the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari to channel a new course for Nigeria and restore her lost glory in all ramifications.
