Prof. Solo Chukwubelu, secretary to the Anambra state
government, who spoke on behalf of Governor Willie Obiano at an Anglican Prayer
rally in the capital, said evil spirits have made the government house in Awka
their abode.
He did not indicate which rooms they occupy, but pleaded
with Bishop of Ogbaru, Rev. Prosper Amah, who presided over the Prayer Rally to
pray for the ejection of the evil spirits permanently, to allow government
focus in providing service to the people.
“In the government House, the evil spirits come and go. We
urge the church to pray hard to let them leave the government for good”
Chukwubelu said.
The prayer rally with the theme “The Righteous shall
Flourish like Palm Tree”, was held at the Dr. Alex Ekwueme Square, under the
auspices of the Province of the Niger, Anglican Prayer Rally of Anambra State
(APRAS) 2019.
Rev. Amah, in his sermon had said there are evil spirits in
the society and also in the Government House, that come and go. However, the
Archbishop, Province of Niger and Bishop, Dioceses of Awka, the Most Rev.
Alexander Ibezim, put the evil spirits in human garb and declared that the evil
spirits in the Government House are actually human beings.
He urged the governor to deal decisively with them to leave
the State House. “The government should fight evil spirits in the State house,
while the church will fight those outside the Government House,” he said.
