The Governor of Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu, PhD has urged the people of Abia State to use this period of Easter to renew their hope and faith in the ability of the Almighty God to intervene in the affairs of humanity.
In his Easter message to the people of the State, Governor Ikpeazu advised the people to see the difficulties and challenges of this period as an opportunity to reaffirm their confidence in God and pray for the continued protection of God upon our lives.
Urging Christians in the State not to allow the present challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic to make them lose sight of the power of God, the Governor, without mincing words said: “God is more than able to bring the current situation under control, even as governments all over the world struggle to do their best at a time like this.”
He further urged Christians not to lose sight of the message of Easter which remains the fulcrum upon which our Christian faith revolves, restating that the death and resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ remain the most significant events that shape and define our Christian faith.
On the COVID-19 pandemic which remains a potent threat across the world, Governor Ikpeazu expressed his gratitude to God Almighty for His grace upon Abia State so far, while assuring the people of the State that his administration has put adequate steps in place should there be a case in the State.
Ikpeazu charged the people to strictly heed to all advice on personal hygiene as enunciated by the Nigeria Center for Disease Control (NCDC) including regular hand washing, use of hand sanitizers, social distancing and the regular use of face masks, insisting that “these measures are critical to the sustenance of our current zero COVID-19 status.”
He further assured that a new Isolation Center will be ready very shortly in Aba as an addition to what is presently available at the two locations in Umuahia, while the one in Abia North will be ready soon.
Meanwhile, Governor Ikpeazu expressed profound thanks to men and women of goodwill who, according to him, responded to the clarion call “and have reached out to the people of our State by their generous donations at this difficult period and prayed God Almighty to bless them and replenish their sources.”
He assured further that the palliative food items and cash given to churches by his administration will continue and be extended to our people further through Town Unions and Traditional Rulers in the days ahead, urging the recipient organizations to apply the highest discretion in the distribution of the items.
“On behalf of my family and government, I wish the entire good people of Abia State, a happy and hopeful Easter Celebration.”
