“As we begin the sacred season of Lent, I extend my warmest wishes to all Christian brothers and sisters in Ijede LCDA and around the world.
“This season is a time of deep reflection, sacrifice, and almsgiving and a period to strengthen our faith through prayer, fasting, and acts of kindness displayed by Jesus Christ.
“I encourage us to embrace the values of love, sacrifice, and compassion that the Lenten Season represents. May this season bring peace, strength, and abundant blessings to our households, and may God accept our prayers, and give us the strength to uphold the virtues of this holy month.
“Wishing you a meaningful and spiritually fulfilling Lent,” Hon. Alogba prayed.
