Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State has called for prayers to expunge evil spirits in the government house.

The governor while speaking on Saturday at the Province of the Niger, Anglican Prayer Rally of Anambra State (APRAS) 2019, admitted that there were evil spirits in the state house that come and go.

Obiano, who spoke through the secretary to the State Government, Prof. Solo Chukwubelu, urged the church to pray for the evil spirits to leave the government house permanently, so that government can provide quality services to the people.

He made this statement in response to the ministration of Bishop of Ogbaru, Rt. Rev. Prosper Amah, who said there were evil spirits in the society.

He said, “In the government House, the evil spirits come and go. We urged the church to pray hard to let them leave the government for good,” he said.

Also speaking, the Archbishop, Province of Niger and Bishop, Dioceses of Awka, the Most Rev. Alexander Ibezim, said that the evil spirits in the government house were human beings and urged the governor to deal decisively with them to leave the state house.

“The government should fight evil spirits themselves in the state house, while the church will fight those outside the government house,” he said.

He urged Christians to be prayerful to be able to subdue Satan and its agents looking for who to destroy.
