Easter: Elder Statesman, Dr Odumegwu, felicitates with Christians, urges unity, peace
An Elder Statesman and Frontline Politician, Dr Ejikeme Odumegwu, has felicitated Christians on completion of 40 days fasting and subsequent Easter celebration that follows it.
Odumegwu, who holds the title of Owelle of Nsukka, gave the commendation in a Easter Goodwill Message he personally signed and issued to newsmen on Friday in Enugu.
He called on residents of Enugu State especially the people of Nsukka axis of the state to exemplify the virtues of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice, unity and peace this Easter.
The frontline politician also called on residents to ensure that they have their Permanent Voter Card (PVC) to actively vote and support the re-election of the performing Governor of Enugu State, His Excellency, Dr Peter Ndubuisi Mbah.
“As we celebrate and thank God for another Easter; we should not forget the major task ahead, which is re-election of our hardworking and innovative governor, Gov Peter Mbah, who has envisioned a modern and prosperous Enugu State for us and our children.
“On the same pedestal, vote in leaders who have penchant for modernity and development just like our governor,” he said.
Odumegwu, who is also the Executive Director of Owelle Ejikeme Odumegwu Foundation, urged the people of Nsukka axis of the state to close ranks and seek leaders that would join Gov. Mbah to facilitate all-round development of Nsukka axis.
According to him, at this stage of our political development, our people should follow leaders that have their interest at heart and have exemplified it by their philanthropic gestures, actions and programmes.
“I once again wish all Christians, Bishops and leaders of various denominations as well as women and youth leaders a happy Easter celebration filled with love,” he added.
