Methodist women go spiritual, seek divine intervention
By Steve Oko
Worried by the deplorable condition of Abia State, Methodist Church women, Tuesday embarked on spiritual cleansing of the state for a better state.



The women who lamented the sorry state of affairs in the state, sought divine intervention for Abia to be delivered from its many predicaments.
The noted with deep concern that, 31 years after the state was created, there are no substantial or commensurate developments yet to show for it.




The women marched to strategic locations in Umuahia the state capital where they made prayers and intercessions for the state.


They encircled the historic Abia Tower at the City centre located at No1 Aba Road where they asked for forgiveness and prayed God to liberate the state.
Speaking with Wawa News Global later, Leader of the women, the Rev. Caleb Ekenna who simply introduced himself as a roving Missionary, decried what he called the annoying retrogression in the state.
He said that Abia had clocked 31 years but had nothing on ground to justify her age unlike sister states including younger ones who are many streets ahead of the God’s Own State.



The cleric said the women decided to cry to God for his intervention over the plights of the state which he blamed on sin and bad leadership.
He said that both the leaders and the people of the state had provoked God and incurred his wrath through their sinful ways.
” We are begging God to forgive us. Abia is now 31 but there is nothing to show for it. We are backwards. Other states have left us behind.
” We are crying to God to forgive us because our atrocities are too much. The level of sin commited in this state is high. There is bloodshed, idolatry, fornication and other abominable acts. We need urgent divine intervention “
On the type of leader they want to emerge in the state in 2023, the cleric said:”An honest person”.
He said their desire was for God to help the best candidate who would govern according to his will to emerge.
