Evil Spirits Present in Anambra Govt House – SSG

- From Titus Eleweke, Awka

The Anambra State government yesterday admitted the presence of evil spirits in the state Government House.

The Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Solo Chukwubelu, disclosed this when he represente­d Governor Willie Obiano at the Province of the Niger Anglican prayer rally held at the Dr. Alex Ekwueme square, Awka, the state capital.

He was reacting to the ministrati­on of Bishop of Ogbaru, Rt. Rev. Prosper Amah, who said as evil spirits were present in society, they are also present in the Government House with each administra­tion that passes by.

He urged the church to pray for the permanent exit of the spirits from the Government House so that government can provide quality services for citizens.

“In the Government House, the evil spirits come and go. We urge the church to pray hard to let them leave the government for good” he said.

the Archbishop, Province of Niger and Bishop, Dioceses of Awka, the Most Rev. Alexander Ibezim, described the evil spirits as human beings and urged the governor to deal decisively with them to ensure they leave the state house.

“The government should fight evil spirits themselves in the state house, while the church will fight those outside the Government House,” he said.

He urged Christians to be prayerful to be able to subdue Satan and its agents looking for who to destroy.

Bishop Ibezim urged Christians to cater for the poor and widows, saying the church should be concerned with the plight of the underprivi­leged.

According to him, any church that does not care for the poor and widows has lost its values and glory.

“We are also concerned about the future of the youth and we must make efforts to secure the future for them,” he said. The bishop consoled families of those who lost their loved ones and property in the recent Onitsha tanker explosion.
