The Executive Secretary, Nigerian Christian Pilgrims Commission (NCPC), Rev. Dr. Yakubu Pam, has said that Imo State shall continue to enjoy and flourish in peace, if the people come together as one.

Rev. Pam, in a goodwill message delivered at the annual Imo Thanksgiving Day Unto the Lord and Carol of 9 Lessons, enjoyed Imolites to live a life of selfless dedication to the Lord.

The event held at the Rear Admr Ndubuisi Kanu Square
former Heroes Square, Concorde Avenue, Owerri, Imo State brought in Imolites from all walks of life including Senators, Members of the House of Representatives, Captains of Industries, Business tycoons, academia and friends of Imo State together.

This year’s event which coincided with the birthday of the Governor of Imo State, Senator Hope Uzidima, had a theme: Jesus The Prince Of Peace.

Rev. Pam encouraged unity amongst the people suing for peace and support to the administration of the Governor as a way of fulfilling their religious obligations as contained in Romans 13:1ff, where Christians are called upon to pray for those in authority.

He said the large crowd that came out to attend this programme was a pointer that “Imo State will continue to flourish in peace”!

Pam also prayed for the peace of the state and urged for a mutual working relationship amongst all stakeholders in the state to sustain the atmosphere of peace that is currently being enjoyed.
