REV. Fr. Solomon Ugwumadu has urged Nigerian leaders to make sacrifices towards healing the country.
The Priest made the call while delivering Homily on Sunday morning at the Catholic Church of the Ascension, Asaba.
Rev. Fr. Donatus Chukwuedo was the Chief Celebrant at the Holy Mass which was also, celebrated by the Parish Priest of the Parish, Rev. Fr. Hilary Ibegbulem and the Associate Priest, Rev. Fr. Victor Ijeh. The Holy Mass was to send forth Fr. Chukwuedo and Fr. Ugwumadu who were Priests at the Catholic Church of the Ascension, Asaba.
According to Fr. Ugwumadu, leaders should make the sacrifice of sincerity, telling the people the truth and carrying out activities that will be beneficial to all.
He also noted that Jesus Christ preached with so much authority because, He practiced what He preached.
“A broken home, a broken country can only be healed with sacrifice, sincerity of heart.
“Our country can be better if our leaders can lead us with sincere hearts, if we as a people do the right things, doing to others what we want them to do to us.
“Jesus Christ taught His disciples with authority; we should always know that it is more blessing to give than to receive.
“There are some fake prophets in our country; in 2020, there were many prophesies, but, none was on coronavirus but, in 2021, most of the prophesies we have heard, revolves round coronavirus.
“There is no need for fake prophesies; all that is required is to serve God with sincere heart, be truthful and do what is right.
“If we must be good followers of Jesus Christ, we must tow His line by practicing what we preach.
“Because there is no healer, people are dying; why are people suffering? Why are we having broken homes?
“Our Lord, Jesus Christ only taught what He did and practiced.
“Your teaching must be in tandem with your belief
“If your teaching is not in line with your belief, you will never teach with authority, because your conscience will judge you.”
The service witnessed churcing of new born baby by the family of Mr Anthony Akwuba; thanksgiving for successful wedding of Mr and Mrs Ifeanyi Obika, among several others. 
Gifts were presented to Fr. Donatus and Fr. Ijeh.
