 The governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, has praised God for restoring peace in the state after periods of insecurity. Speaking in our capital of Imo State during a program titled Imo Unity Prayer, organized by the Christian Association of Nigeria, Cannes, Governor Uzodimma says it is good to worship God, adding that he called upon the Lord when he was in difficulty and the Lord rescued him. The chairman of Cannes, Imo State Chapter, Reverend Etchers, Divine Etchers says the program is aimed at giving thanks to God for protecting the people of the state and restoring peace in the land. All of you that live here in Imo State, two years ago, we didn't have this environment. We didn't have the kind of atmosphere that we're enjoying today. We were challenged. We didn't go retaliating. We didn't say we were able to solve the problem, to put our knees on the ground. We prayed, God answered us. And today, Imo State is free. Imo State is free. Amen. We thank Almighty God. We continue to thank Him and we continue to pray to Him. We have no other God but Him. Number one, this is our commandment to pray for the nation, to pray for our state. The Bible enjoys us to pray for all in authority, pray for the land and pray for the state and pray for the kings. It's because God would want us to enjoy peace in our land. And that is why that injunction is given to us. And above all, you've seen what we've gone through in our states, challenges from banditry and criminalities and all forms of evil. But it's only what we call upon God that our children who are sticking to crime will return back to God. It's not a wish that they will continue in their way. So we pray that God will intervene in our state and bring about peace. And today, we gather to pray because there is nothing bigger than God to commit our land in Imo State in the hand of God so that God will take a charge. It has been our God in ages past and there is nothing we can do without God. With God, there will be prosperity. With God, there will be peace. So you get notified about fresh news updates.
