* Ugwuanyi |
Bishop Onaga who spoke in a sermon to mark the 2016 Carol of Nine
Lessons held at the Holy Ghost Cathedral Parish Church, Enugu, on
Sunday, eulogised Gov. Ugwuanyi for his remarkable achievements on roads, security and other infrastructural facilities, noting that the gesture has vastly improved the people’s wellbeing.
The Catholic cleric described Governor Ugwuanyi's ability to pay
workers’ salaries as and when due, in addition to the provision of
other social amenities despite dwindling federal allocation to states
as miraculous.
"As a leader, even when things are very difficult, you're supposed to
give people hope by touching areas that touch their lives. So we are
grateful to you, we are not taking any of these things for granted.
Keep it up and don’t relent,” he added.
He further explained that leadership is about ability to touch the
lives of the despondent in the society by providing them with
conducive environment and securing their lives and property.
Lamenting the current hardship in the country occasioned by economic
recession, the cleric enjoined the people to show care and support to
make the Christmas celebration a happy one for all families.
The first lesson at the event was read by Governor Ugwuanyi. Other
Bible readings were taken by dignitaries such as the deputy Senate
President, Chief Ike Ekweremadu; former governor of old Anambra State,
Senator Jim Nwobodo; Speaker of the Enugu State House of Assembly,
Hon. Edward Ubosi, and the Acting Chief Judge of Enugu State, Justice
Pricilla Ngozi Emehelu.
The event was attended by many personalities including the Bishop
Emeritus of Enugu Diocese, Most Rev. Dr. Anthony Gbuji, Senator
Chukwuka Utazi, Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu and Rev. Emma Igwensi among
others.
It also featured drama skit, choir ministration and fireworks.
