In a press statement issued today being Good Friday by the honourable member, with a copy made available to Umuaka Times, the honourable member called on Nigerians to use this period of Easter celebration as a season of sober reflection “on our lives and a time to renew our personal covenant with God and our relationship with our family and friends. I urge you to emulate the footsteps of Our Lord Jesus Christ whose death and resurrection, the world is celebrating today and to devote a little time to reflect on our relationship with our neighbours and the personal sacrifice which we must all make to create a better society for ourselves and our children yet unborn”.
In an interview from the Umuaka Times correspondent in Owerri who called on him earlier today, Hon Ozurigbo strongly preached on the need for peaceful co-existence and co-operation among the citizens of our country and advised that we should endeavour to do the right things for the advancement of peace and justice for the interest of all. He appealed to those beating the drums of war to have a rethink as “war does no good to anyone.” On the issue of the rising wave of violence and social disorganizations across the country, Hon Ozurigbo openly called on mischief makers to love their neighbours as they love themselves and always use the legitimate means and the right federal institutions in the country made available by the Federal Government to present their social and political grievances. He strongly frowned at the spate of killings going on in the country today and advised that “our struggle to rescue our cities and communities from the vicious grip of criminals demands a measure of sacrifice from every Nigerian.”
The chairman House Committee on Justice in the National Assembly, Hon Ugonna Ozurigbo also drew the attention of his constituents to the challenges of governance and the sacrifices “we must all make to bring our dream of a prosperity in Imo State and Nigeria in general to a reality.”According to the lawmaker, Nigeria is seen to be the giant of Africa today and for that reason countries across the continent expect Nigeria to lead the way to the political and economic survival of Africa. “We all need to work hard to make Africa and the world proud.”
Recall that early this week, Rt Hon Ozurigbo Ugonna bagged the Umuaka Times Public Service Award 2020 in recognition of the social intervention programs he has instituted in his constituency. He concluded by wishing his constituents, state and Nigeria at large a happy Easter celebration .In his words, “May the joys of Easter and the blessings of Christ’s infinite Grace for mankind fill our lives, our families, our communities, our state and our beloved Nigeria this season and always”.
