Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, has said that he was not responsible for the insecurity in the state and called on his accusers to re-examine themselves.

The governor submitted that he is a beneficiary of God’s grace, mercy and kindness, hence nothing will stop him from serving God and mankind.

 

The governor spoke at his hometown in Ozuh Omuma, Oru East local government area of the state during the dedication of St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church Parish, Ozuh Omuma, on Sunday.

Bishop of Catholic Diocese of Orlu, Most Rev Dr. Augustine Ukwuoma, in his homily, said the church dedication will help to foster peace and bring to an end the insecurity and bloodletting in the area and parts of the State.

 

In his remarks at the end of the service, Uzodimma thanked the dignitaries, who came from different parts of the country and used the opportunity of the dedication to inform the congregation that neither himself nor his government was instrumental to the killings in Imo State.

 

He described the insinuation as evil, devilish and an attempt to smear his image and blackmail his government.

 

He reiterated that as a governor, he needed peace to serve the people well and urged those behind the insecurity in Imo State to have a rethink or be ready to face the wrath of God.

 

The governor said that despite all the accusations and blackmail against his person and his administration, God has proven to be with him, “because power belongs to God.”

 

He said as someone who has benefited from God’s grace, he owes God a lot of gratitude, noting that it was unthinkable for anyone to link him or his government to the cause of crises and violence in the State.

 

The governor admonished those responsible for the violence and carnage in the state to desist forthwith “because they will at the end answer for their sins before God.”

 

Recalling the genesis of the newly dedicated Church he built for his community, the governor said he was inspired by the commitment of his late mother, Ezinne Rose Uzodimma, to church work, charity and the things of God.

 

He expressed fulfilment over the newly dedicated church, saying, “a fulfilled life does not point to the number of wealth one has but the number of faces that smile from one’s benevolence.”

 

The governor, who expressed joy that with the dedication of the church his mother will be happy wherever she is, said his joy knew no bounds, particularly as he looked at the smiling faces of the guests.

 

He explained that the project was conceived 16 years ago and modelled after the Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Maitama, Abuja.

 

Uzodimma said that he was encouraged by the late Catholic Bishop of Orlu, Gregory Ochiagha, and the current Bishop, Rev. Ukwuoma, and regretted that Bishop Ochiagha was not alive to see the church completed and handed over to the Diocese.

 

Governor Uzodimma expressed happiness that his people of Omuma and all well-meaning people of God were part of the dedication ceremony.

 

He insisted that the Church was but a token of appreciation of the numerous good things God has done for him.

 

He thanked the Bishops, the clergy, particularly those from outside the State, who joined in the dedication service.

 

In his homily, Bishop Ukwuoma congratulated the governor for the uncommon fit of building and donating a “magnificent worship place” of God to the Catholic Church.

 

The Bishop who cautioned that “with the dedication of the Church it has now become the property of the Diocese and the universal Church,” warned of any infractions in the church.

 

He seized the opportunity to appeal to political leaders to lead the people well “because there is a lot of hardship in the country.”

 

The Bishop appealed to the leaders to do everything within their powers to prevent the looming strike by NLC and TUC “as the strike will not benefit the poor, rather it will create more problems and difficulties.”

 

Bishop Ukwuoma prayed that God will use the dedication to enthrone peace and stop the bloodletting in Imo State in particular and Nigeria in general.
