Speaking at the occasion, the governor revealed that during Imo Day of Thanksgiving, the Rescue Mission administration financially assisted some poor people’s medical bills, which one of the beneficiaries, who had chronic kidney problem was sent to abroad for treatment.

The governor announced the donation of his salary and allowances to the less privileged in the state and the initiation of Special Women Empowerment for indigent women from 2014, adding that the Imo Day of thanksgiving remains as annual event in Imo State.

Owelle Okorocha urged the people to imbibe the spirit of sharing with the poor as Christ did when he was on earth which is the essence of Christmas.  In his words, “life is not fulfilled unless one gives a helping hand to those in need”.  If Christ embraced us despite our filthiness, we can do so to others so that the poor can smile and join hands to make the nation a better place for all of us.

Responding, two of the beneficiaries, Miss Mercy Ndukuba who got a clutch and Master Emeziem Mbah who got a wheel chair, thanked God for using governor Okorocha to alleviate their sufferings and prayed for more wisdom and divine guidance in his administration.
