Anambra: Governor Soludo marks end of first term with church service

The Anambra government held an interdenominational church service on Sunday to mark the end of Governor Charles Soludo’s first tenure.
The service, held at the International Convention Centre, was also part of the activities lined up for Soludo’s inauguration for a second tenure, scheduled for March 17.
The bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Awka, Alexander Ibezim, delivered a message with the theme, ‘Leading with Wisdom and Integrity’. The national president of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, Wale Oke, also delivered the sermon.
The clergymen commended the governor for the achievements recorded in his first tenure.
They urged him to focus on human capital and infrastructure development during his second tenure.
They also admonished him to uphold integrity in leadership.
In his speech, the governor, accompanied by his wife, Nonye, thanked the people of Anambra for their support over the past four years.
He acknowledged challenges but said the success and glorious conclusion of his first tenure were by the grace of God.
Mr Soludo said he would continue to work for the development of the state and society.
He promised not to treat people on “the basis of their religion or where they come from, but by the value they bring to his government”.
