Prelate of Methodist Church of Nigeria, His Eminence, Dr. Samuel Chukwuemeka Kanu Uche, has advised Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi to ensure that the governorship seat of government continues to rotate among the three senatorial districts of the state for peace, unity and progress to reign.
According to the Prelate, the Governor should follow the chart that was brought up by the founding fathers of Enugu State, and ensure that the governorship position of the state rotates among Enugu East, Enugu West and Enugu North senatorial districts.
The Prelate gave the admonition at Enugu State Government House Chapel on Friday when he led the Archbishops, Bishops, other Methodist Clergy and the laity to pray in the Chapel as part of activities marking the 9th National Convention of the Church, holding at Michael Okpara Square, Enugu.
Dr. Kanu Uche commended Ugwuanyi building a worship centre inside the Government House for Christians.
“We commend you for giving us a Chapel”, added: “That shows you (Ugwuanyi) have God in your mind and the Lord you love will never disappoint you; you will finish your tenure in peace and hand over to a good person like you who fears God”.
Gov. Ugwuanyi in his remarks, said he respectfully welcomed the religious leaders and expressed delight that the landmark visit and the prayers offered for the country, the government and good people of Enugu State in the first purpose-built Enugu State Government House Chapel were inspiring and cherished.
The governor recalled that the Catholic Bishops of Nigeria also visited and prayed in the Chapel on August 24, 2021, during the Second Plenary Meeting of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) which held in Enugu from August 19 to 27, 2021.
“This spectacular show of love, care and support is motivating and spiritually enriching. I humbly enjoin you to continue to pray for peace in our lives, our administration, Enugu State and Nigeria at large.I laud the efforts of the Methodist Church (amongst others) in engendering moral restitution, responsible citizenship, peace, unity and national development.
“I pray that Almighty God grants you more strength and wisdom for your selfless service to humanity,” he added.
