Governor Uzodinma also prayed God to continue to keep the celebrant in good health.

In honour of the celebrant described as a devout Christian of the Anglican Faith by the Clergy who officiated the Thanksgiving Service, Governor Uzodinma promised to donate a Bus as requested by the Church, the Cathedral Church of St Mary Magdalene, Oguta, for evangelism and work of God.

Welcoming the Governor and other guests, an in-law of the celebrant and a prominent son of Oguta, Chief Ernest Nwapa, described his father-in-law as a devout Christian, hardworking and peaceful man.

He said his father in-law resisted any plan to postpone the celebration of his 90th birthday for an elaborate one, at least with the Church.

Nwapa, who is the Chairman of the Governing Council of the Imo State University expressed appreciation at the presence of  Governor Uzodimma despite the very short notice he gave to him over his father in-law’s 90th birthday celebration.

On his own, the celebrant commended Governor Uzodimma over the good works he is doing in Imo State and prayed God to lavish him with strength and wisdom he needs to provide selfless services to the people.
