The Coordinators of Soludo Support group, Onitsha North took a bolder step to celebrate Eucharistic Mass for Soludo’s victory come November 8, Anambra State Gubernatorial election.
The leader of the group, former Chairman Onitsha North Local Government and the Chairman for All Soludo Support group Onitsha North, Hon. Onochie Ozoma pointed that they have gone spiritual to seek the will of God and pray for divine power to take control of the forth coming election that will return Governor Chukwuma Soludo for second tenure.
“To intensify our prayer intentions, the Holy Eucharistic Mass is going to last for 17 Sundays and daily prayer for 106 days by all their members,” he said.
The prayer match started on July 20 at St Mary’s Catholic Church Inland Town Onitsha.
The Mass which was presided over by Rev. Fr. Onyeka Muobike charged the congregation to show compassion to strangers and pay more attention to things of eternal life.
While addressing the group after Mass, Hon. Onochie applauded the massive infrastructural developments in Onitsha and Anambra North in general like construction of roads at Awada, Akpaka Forest, Trans- Nkisi road to Tazan under construction and Iweka road to mention but few, saying that Soludo has linked the state with good roads.
Ozoma continued to extol Governor Soludo’s achievements as he pointed out renovation of Crowther Memorial School, which turned to a modern School to the admiration of many and the expansion of the Health Centre at Court Road by building hostels, lodging accommodation for workers.
He also built three Hospitals in Onitsha and offered free maternal care and goes further to give one year health insurance policy to any child born in these facilities.
Hon. Onochie said that Governor Soludo has done so well in his first tenure that he is so deservedly to go back for second tenure.
According to him, we anticipate that Soludo’s second tenure will be a blast, he’s going to do much more. When he comes back, he’s going into Agriculture production and processing so that it will give our youths job.
In his first tenure, he has empowered and engaged youths through 1 Youth 2 Skills program. Those youths who cannot go into skilled work can now run businesses in agricultural sector.
Hon. Ozoma pointed out that Soludo Support group has made advances into door to door campaign (mosquito campaign), educating and enlightening the populace what Soludo has done and will still do.
We also canvased for massive turnout on the during voters registration exercise and we shall also carry out a tour of all the infrastructures built by the Governor to showcase to the people Soludo’s achievements.
The Soludo Support group woman leader, Hon. Lady Nkiru Nnabuife in her contribution reaffirmed that her women are well prepared and working very hard to return Soludo to seat.
According to her, women form majority in voting exercise and we are going to seize the opportunity to pull vote for APGA.
She laid emphasis on the ongoing prayer match which she said will end in praise.
The Coordinator Yagazie support group, Hon. Anthony Nwabunwanne also said that as far as Anambra State is concerned, there is no vacancy in the Government House. “We must all work very hard to secure victory for Soludo through prayers and neighbourhood campaign.
