Obiano will be made Papal Knight Today
The Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano will be
bestowed with the order of a Papal Knight today in Rome, Italy.
Governor Obiano has already arrived the Vatican City safely
with his family, three principal officers, and a few friends as is customary
with the ceremony, for this special honour.
The Papal Knighthood is a highly revered honour in the
Catholic Church, bestowed in the name of the Pope by his authority as the head
of the Holy See and Sovereign of the Vatican City State.
A practice that dates back to the middle ages, the Papal
Knighthood is usually conferred on an individual in acknowledgment of his
service to the Church.
Long before he was elected governor of Anambra State, Chief
Willie Obiano had established his presence as one of the pillars of the
Catholic Church in Nigeria with a string of verifiable activities in service of
the church across two dioceses.
His support for the Catholic Church has not waned since he
became governor especially with the recent reconstruction of the over one
hundred years old St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Aguleri, his hometown.
Signed
James Eze
Chief Press Secretary
