Easter: Enugu-based philanthropist, Dr Odumegwu, urges unity, peace
An Enugu-based philanthropist, Dr Ejikeme Odumegwu, has felicitated Christians on completion of 40 days fasting and subsequent Easter celebration that follows it.
Odumegwu, who is the Executive Director of Owelle Ejikeme Odumegwu (OEO) Foundation, said this in an Easter Goodwill Message he issued on Saturday in Enugu.
He called on residents of Enugu State especially the people of Nsukka to exemplify the spirit of unity and peace this Easter.
Odumegwu, who holds the title of Owelle of Nsukka, also called on residents to ensure that they have their Permanent Voter Cards (PVC) to actively vote and support the re-election of the performing Gov. Peter 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.
“Mbah is currently envisioning a modern Enugu State for us and our children through massive infrastructural works as well as people-oriented programmes and initiatives,” he said.
The philanthropist, whose foundation had awarded scholarship to scores of secondary and tertiary students, admonished residents to vote in frontline politicians who have penchant for modernity and development just like Mbah.
Odumegwu, who is a frontline politician and statesman, urged the residents especially the people of Nsukka axis to close ranks and seek leaders that would join Gov. Mbah to facilitate all-round development of Nsukka axis of the state.
According to him, at this stage of our political development, our people should follow people that have their interest at heart and exemplified it by their philanthropic gestures and programmes.
“I once again wish all Christians, Bishops and leaders of various denominations, women and youth leaders a happy Easter celebration filled love and good neighbourliness.”
