The Bishop of Uromi Diocese, Rt. Rev. Ogun Osa, thanked the governor for his move to ensure peace in Uromi and the state at large, following his actions after the unfortunate killings in Uromi.
He noted that this was the first time a sitting governor will be coming to the church to thank God on his own.
Bishop Osa urged the people of Uromi and the state at large to collaborate and cooperate with the governor to develop the state and make life better for the people.
