The Abia State Governor, Theodore Orji, has called on Nigerians and Christians to shun bitterness in their relationship towards one another and desist from inciting the public against the leadership of the country.
On the occasion of Christmas, the governor said, “it is this type of love that can make a country and make everyone to seek the greatness of Nigeria.
“We owe this debt to God and to fellow human beings to extend love at all times, even in the face of hostility as admonished by the word of God.”
Based on these words, Governor Orji, in exercise of the powers conferred on him by section 212 of the 1999 constitution, has signed an order for the discharge and release of twelve prisoners namely, Boniface Okezie, Ikemdinachi Okezie, Ezeogo Ogbonnaya and Victor Ojiegbe among others.
These releases were based on the recommendation of the state council on prerogative of mercy under the chairmanship of the state Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Umeh Kalu.
He advised all to embrace the love of Jesus Christ as shown in his exploits on earth.
