Uzodinma Heads Governors’ Mobilisation Committee For Christian Pilgrimage
Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State is to head the governors’ committee for the December Christian Pilgrimage in Israel, being organised by the Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC).
Executive Secretary of NCPC, Rev. Yakubu Pam, announced this when Uzodimma paid a solidarity visit to the commission’s boss in his office.
Pam said the Imo State governor would be expected to mobilise his colleague governors for them to be actively involved in the forthcoming pilgrimage to the Holy land where a prayer session would be organised for the country.
“We have this programme “A Day With Jesus” in Israel which we are believing God that we will have the Deputy Senate President and the Vice President in attendance; we will make sure we all take part.
“It’s purely a prayer retreat where we pray for Nigeria because that is the only thing we need now.
“The governor will support us in terms of mobilising his colleague governors, politicians and businessmen in the country; we see him as our ambassador who will help to realise Mr President’s ambition.
“There are challenges all over the world; these challenges cannot be solved by an individual and so we should have faith in God and believe in the unity of this country.
“We also ask the young ones to be patient; we know things are not easy now but by the Grace of God, we will reach there.
“However, we plead with everybody to be patient because we can’t destroy what our founding fathers have done by giving us a good country,” he said.
