You fashioned him for leadership in this generation. Endow him with your heavenly wisdom; empower him from above that when they sit in the council of princes, Lord distinguish him with an excellent spirit. Be with him and continually strengthen him.”

Also in his prayers, the Bishop Emeritus of Nike Diocese, Rt. Rev. Prof. Evans Ibeagha, described Governor Ugwuanyi as “a peace maker” and appreciated God for using the governor to promote peace in Enugu State in particular and Nigeria in general.

“We pray that many years to come that he (Ugwuanyi) will be serving you for he is a young man. He will put his hands to Your hands and You will lead him to that point where You designed for him; that he will be a glory to Your name. The entire family will be blessed; the enemies will not overtake him; will not overtake his family in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,” he fervently prayed.
