Anambra State Government has debunked reports that Governor Chukwuma Soludo has banned prayers in Market
Reacting to viral social media reports that the Governor has stopped traders from organising prayers in the markets, the State Commissioner for Information Sir Paul Nwosu wondered how Governor Soludo can ban prayers in markets when he starts every day with prayer.
Nwosu disclosed that the Governor starts every single day with either a Mass or a Service, pointing out that a man who puts premium on morning devotions cannot ask others not to engage in morning prayers.
The Commissioner explained that what the Governor alluded to which was misrepresented was that traders should hold their morning devotions in a manner that is consistent with their occupation, bearing in mind that customers come from far and wide to shop including those that come from outside the state to sleep over so that they can do their shopping early enough and return to their far destinations.
The Commissioner urged the traders to start every business week on Mondays with prayers, noting that Prayer, is the master key that unlocks challenges.
