Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State has said that with absolute trust in God and faith in the risen Jesus Christ, Christians and indeed Imo people will overcome the coronavirus pandemic.
In an emotion laden Easter message to Imo people, Uzodimma also assured that with strict adherence to safety measures, the state will overcome COVID 19, with the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
In a statewide broadcast to the people yesterday, the governor urged them to bear the hardships induced by the need to prevent COVID 19 pandemic with the same uncommon patience and perseverance that Christ bore his passion and tribulations before his crucifixion, noting that “Christ’s resurrection is a sign of assurance that after the Coronavirus pandemic will come the joy of triumph.”.

He urged all Imo Christians to join in the sacrifice and worship on Easter day through online and electronic channels.
The governor lamented: “As a Christian I feel pained that I will not be able to celebrate Easter church service in a congregation.
But I also understand that it is a sacrifice I must make to prevent COVID 19 from having a veritable space to strike in our state. Let us all bear this painful sacrifice together as one people with one motive; to save ourselves and our children from the COVID 19 pandemic.”
