The Special Adviser to the Governor of Anambra State on Entertainment, Leisure and Tourism, Bob-Manuel Udokwu, has called on Christians in Anambra State and beyond to embrace the Christmas season as a time to show love, compassion, and kindness to the less privileged in society.
Speaking in Awka on Christmas Eve, the veteran Nollywood actor described Christmas as a season that embodies love, sacrifice, and selflessness. He noted that the birth of Jesus Christ represents God’s ultimate expression of love for humanity, having given His only begotten Son for the salvation of the world. Udokwu therefore urged Christians to reflect this divine love by caring for one another and spreading the message of Christ’s love throughout the season.
Udokwu further stated that Christmas in Anambra State this year is uniquely special, attributing this to the remarkable transformation of the state under the leadership of Governor Chukwuma Soludo. He explained that through the Governor’s Solution Agenda, Anambra has been repositioned from what was once described as a “departure lounge” into a thriving destination hub.
He highlighted key infrastructural developments across the state, including the newly minted and commissioned Solution Fun City, the Anambra Country Club, the completion of over 700 kilometres of roads, and significant improvements in security. According to him, these developments have created an enabling environment for Ndi Anambra to relax, feel safe, and fully enjoy the Christmas festivities within the state.
The Special Adviser also used the opportunity to express gratitude to the people of Anambra for re-electing Governor Soludo, encouraging them to continue supporting and believing in his administration. He assured Ndi Anambra that more developmental projects and benefits are on the way.
Udokwu concluded by wishing Ndi Anambra a merry Christmas, urging everyone to celebrate responsibly, live in peace, and make the season memorable by sharing love and joy with others.
