A victory thanksgiving service has been held in Abia State by the
outgoing Government of Chief Theodore Orji to thank God for his numerous
blessings to the State over the past years.
The Interdenominational thanksgiving service which held at the new
International Conference Centre, Umuahia featured special prayers, songs
and thanksgiving.
Speaking
at the event, Governor Orji thanked Abians for their massive support
over the past years which he said saw him through governance.
According
to him, "being governor is not easy as a leader has to endure many
things" and thanked God for sanctioning and seeing him through his
tenure as Governor.
He
appealed to Abians to extend the same support they gave to him to his
successor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu and expressed optimism that he will do his
best in office.

done in the interest of the state.

general development he brought to the State.

peace, security, healthcare as well as partnered well with churches in
the State in addition to human capacity building especially empowering
youths.He reminded Christians that whoever must serve God must pass
through test
