Deputy Chief Whip of House Representatives, Hon. Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, brought smile to the faces of over 2000 women of her constituency on Saturday by distributing food items worth millions of naira to celebrate Christmas.
The beneficiaries cut across the twenty two wards in Isuikwuato/Umunneochi, the two local governments area she represents at the House of Representatives.
This was even as she urged them to continue to live with the principle of the teachings of God and exhibit the virtues of Jesus Christ.
She also called on the people to rise up in prayers for the state to redeem it from every evil plots.
Onyejeocha made the call at the conclusion of her annual Foundation Prayer Meeting held in her country home, Isuochi, where women of her constituency gathered in prayers to intercede for Abia State.
She said the gesture was to continue to remind them of the need to live and act like genuine followers of God and pray at all times so that they will not fall into the trap of evil men, especially as the 2023 elections draw closer.
Onyejeocha who read a portion of the Bible while addressing the women, admonished them to be role model for God, saying whatever they do as parents will translate to what becomes of their children.
“Our children are products of the society”, she said, while she cautioned them to watch and pray against evil.
She said: “Christmas is coming and people will come promising to pay your bills but there is a price you will pay for that and once you are trapped, you can’t come out again.
“You must avoid that temptation”, she advised the women who prayed along with her intermediately, saying Abia shall rise again.
“Our children are on the street without education, our parents are on the street without salaries paid for their labour, our elders are without pension. They have no food to eat, no road, no water, no light, there is no hospital. We decree it this afternoon that it shall not continue this way in the name of Jesus.
“We are children of Abia State and we believe in God Almighty and we don’t care where they get there powers from, we do not care where they get consolation from, we don’t care about their confidence but one thing I know is that their confidence is of the wicked but they shall be destroyed.
“We have decree today in one accord that those who have embarked on evil journey so that we shall remain stagnated, those powers shall crash.
“Affliction will not meet Abia again. Abia shall rise again. Abia I said rise up and and get of this cage, Abia shall be liberated”, she prayed.
