Gov. Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State has lauded the Director of Zion Prayer Outreach, Evang. Ebuka Obi for constructing Seraphic Psychiatric Hospital and Old People’s Home, Aguleri.
Soludo gave the commendation while commissioning the four hundred-bed facility built by the Zion Prayer Movement Outreach.
He praised the evangelist for having the presence of mind to construct such facility.
According to him, the project fully aligns with him as a person and what his government is doing.
“Thank you because what you have done is to live out the true essence of Christianity,” he noted.
The Governor lamented that some pastors have turned their ministries into an opportunity to enrich themselves.
“Evang. Obi is sending a message to all christians and asking a question; who are you able to lift up? Now is the time to give.
The Governor assured that his administration would partner with the hospital and promised monthly support to encourage them to do more.
“This is what government should be doing, but we cannot do it alone.
” In response to your plea, we will provide you with transformer for electrification and also construct access road into this facility.
Earlier, the Evangelist said the programme is not a political function, stating that he was received by the Governor at the Light House.
“I can’t come to Anambra without calling on the Governor and I went to the Light House, Awka.
“I have never seen a project like that. in fact, it is a mini-city. I’m impressed, may God bless you,” he added.
Obi further revealed that the facility would become fully functional by next month.
He added that building such a facility had been his childhood vision.
He hinted that similar projects would be built in other states of the federation.
The Governor had earlier received Evangelist Obi at the Light House, Awka, before proceeding to venue of the event.
