The Speaker of Anambra State House of Assembly, Rt.Hon.Somtochukwu Udeze has said that without resurrection of Jesus Christ, our faith as Christians would have been in vain.

The Speaker who joyfully echoed the ancient Easter phrase *”Christ is risen, He is risen indeed, Hallelujah”*, enjoined Christians to be spiritually and emotionally connected with Jesus Christ, who he said, has defeated death and sin for our sake.
