Primate of all Nigeria Anglican Church, Henry Ndukuba, has commended Governor Hope Uzodimma for all his efforts in ensuring that his government leaves a legacy of durable infrastructure in Imo State.
The Archbishop bared his mind on Sunday in his sermon at the dedication of the newly built Cathedral Church of St. Peter Umuokanne, Ohaji in Ohaji/Egbema local government areas of Imo State.
The Primate who regretted that those in positions of authority are facing challenging times today due to insecurity and other forms of injustices was, however, full of praises for Governor Uzodimma over the latter’s policies on strategic infrastructure renewal in Imo.
Ndukuba’s words: “As I drove to Orlu yesterday (Saturday), Your Excellency, I saw the road you are taking from Owerri to Orlu. There are also others around the State. God will stand by you and help you do more. This is a very uncertain time and a very challenging time for every leader in the country. God will help you.”
He said Governor Uzodimma’s projects are people-oriented and that the Governor has continued to interface with stakeholders, pursuing peace vigorously and going about his leadership with the fear of the Lord. “God will grant you peace and God will grant us peace in Nigeria.”
In the Primate’s sermon which he tagged: Living stones and spiritual temple – he admonished the congregation to see the Cathedral Church he came to dedicate, as indeed other places of worship in the country, as the place to run to in times of challenges like we have in Nigeria and other places today.
Ndukuba said that there is no problem God cannot solve for the people if they prayerfully approach Him with sincerity of heart, faithfully, obediently, committedly and with a heart full of gratitude and love.
He not only chided those who have taken it upon themselves to be killing fellow human beings, destroying their homes and places of worship, but also the authorities that have failed to bring such persons to book in the spirit of fairness and justice.
The Primate warned that the wrath of God is near for those who take Him and what He is capable of doing for granted.
To the youths of the country, he warned them not to submit themselves to be used for dirty political activities as 2023 approaches, pleading, however, for everybody’s understanding in these difficult times.
