Newly inaugurated Anambra State House of Assembly Speaker, Hon. Somtochukwu Udeze, has being charged to lead the 8th Assembly with unification of purpose in humility.

Mr Osita Obi, Chairman of the Marvellous family unit of Church of The Pentecost, Awka,Anglican Communion, Diocese of Awka, where Udeze is a member, urged him to be exemplary in his legislations.

Obi made the charge in on Monday in Awka shortly after the new speaker was elected.

Recall that Udeze was elected by 30 members of the 8th Assembly and inaugurated by the Governor of the state, Prof Charles Soludo.

Obi who is also the convener of Recover Nigeria, a Civil Society that prides in good governance advised Udenze to use his exotic position to preach Jesus Christ.

“You need to legislate in fairness, quality of the bills and motions need to be human friendly. You need to encourage legislation that will better the lives of all Anambra people and residents.

” You need to encourage quality legislation that would put Anambra State on a map of growth and development. Selfishness must be killed, you need to be selfless in all your legislative functions.

“Above all you must lead differently as a God fearing individual and ensure you serve the needs of the people”Obi said.

Obi urged Udeze that as a member of Marvelous family, Church of the Pentecost, representing Ogbaru 11,state constituency in state House that his tenure needs to be peculiar indeed.

Udeze who is in for his third term representing members of Ogbaru II constituency since 2015, was elected under the platform of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) but he defected to the state ruling Party All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA).

Mrs Cecilia Eresimadu, a member of the family urged the new speaker to carry the light of God to his office and legislate as one who will be accountable of his stewardship to the people.

Eresimadu urged the speaker to see himself as Anambra servant and not his political party as such need discharge his legislative functions creditably.
