One is greatly moved by the Homily of His Lordship, Most Rev Paulinus C. Ezeokafor on the occasion of the Investiture as Papal Knights of St Sylvester, of Chief Peter Obi and Hon Callistus Ilozumba happening today at St Patrick’s Catheral, Awka, which suggests that continuity is working in Anambra State.
Part of the homily reads:
“We know no one has really succeeded till he or she gets a worthy successor… Following the prayers of our people for a worthy successor to Chief Peter Obi, Anambra has been blessed with Chief Willie Obiano who since assuming office has left no one in doubt about his commitment to the welfare of Anambrarians.
He has worked hard not only to consolidate on his predecessor’s developmental strides in governance, but also to open up new frontiers of development.
… He has kept faith with his avowals to turn around the economy of the state through his 4 point economic agenda which has multiple enablers as ancillary facilitators.
In less than 10 months in office, Chief Obiano, has made remarkable impact in Agricultural, Oil & Gas, Trade & Commerce and Industrial Sectors.
The flyovers springing up in Awka and the ongoing work in different construction sites in the state show that there is no deceleration in the pace of infrastructural development and in commitment to the good people of the State.
To the glory of God and thanks to Chief Obiano’s initiative, there is almost zero crime rate in the State…
Let me plead with all and sundry to assist our energetic and visionary Governor to succeed… Willie is indeed working”
Here are some early pictures…
