The wife of the Governor of Anambra State, Mrs Nonye Soludo has restated her belief that everyone deserved the love of the season of Christmas and New year celebrations.
She stated this during a visit to Catholic priests living in the Priests’ Welfare Home, Awka which houses Catholic priests from both Awka and Ekwulobia dioceses who were either too old to work, incapacitated, or nursing serious illness.
Speaking at the home, Mrs Soludo said the visit which was part of her charity tour to children and welfare homes in the State was to check on the welfare and living conditions of the priests.
She promised to maintain the visitation schedule for the home and praised the management for keeping the place in order and healthy for the residents.
Earlier, Manager of the Home, Rev Father Emmanuel Uduh, disclosed that Mrs Soludo is the first Governor’s wife in history to have visited the home, and commended her for always thinking about how to reach out to those in need.
One of the priests in the home, Reverend Monsignor Simon Amateze talked about the importance of charity and the blessings that come from acts of kindness, stressing that by living out kindness, Mrs Soludo has earned for herself a lifetime blessing from God.
The priests later prayed for the Governor’s wife, her family, and the state at large, while Mrs Soludo presented some items to the home included bags of rice, beans, tubers of yam, and cash.
The National Chairman of APGA, Barrister Slyvester Ezeokenwa, his wife, Mrs Amara Ezeokenwa, the Transition Committee Chairman of Idemili South, Mrs Amaka Obi, joined in the visit.
