It was drama at Christ Anglican church, last Sunday at the thanksgiving ceremony of 2013 women August meeting organized by Udodiri Ndom Owere, the apex women group in Owerri.
During the thanksgiving event, the President General, Owerri Community Assembly, Chief Oweaya Christian Anukam called on the Church to caution the sacked Chairperson of the group, Mrs Comfort Mere to handover the affairs of the women group to the democratically elected Chairperson Mrs Justina Oguoma.
It will be recalled that the women group had conducted an election which removed Mrs Mere from office, but she refused to handover.
Oweaya, who returned from abroad where he went for medical treatment, said that the church should advise Mrs Mere to handover the affairs of the group as her refusal to do so contradicts her elevation in the church.
Oweaya said “the church should caution her and save her soul. She is drifting”.
Meanwhile, the 2013 August meeting was held amidst pomp and pageantry at Ugwu Ekuema civic centre Egbu road where awards were conferred on distinguished men and women.
The recipients of the award include wife of the Speaker, Imo State House of Assembly, Mrs Uwajumogu, Wife of Imo state Chief Judge, Mrs Joy Njemanze, Publisher, Nigerian Horn Newspapers, High Chief Bright Chimezie Njoku and others.
Among those who witnessed the event include Hon Ezenwa Onyewuchi, member representing Owerri Federal Constituency, Hon Victor Mere, member representing Owerri Municipal state constituency who was represented by Martins Onyeukwu, SOLAD, Owerri Municipal, Mazi Paschal Ujah and other top dignitaries.
