My people should expect divine glory in 2019,  says Akwa Ibom gov

Udom Emmanuel, governor of Akwa Ibom state, has called on people to expect divine power, glory and collective desires in the state in 2019.

Accompanied by Martha, his wife, and Moses Ekpo, the state deputy governor, said this during the thanksgiving service to mark the end of year 2018.

The service took place at the Latter House Chapel, Governor’s Lodge, Uyo.

The governor said it was delightful to witness the intervention of God in several challenges which had faced the people of Akwa Ibom in the previous year.

“God has been faithful to the success recorded in the fulfilment of promises and attainment of goals,” he said.

He appreciated the tireless efforts of various Christian groups and “eminent fathers of faith” in offering prayers and engaging in fasting to seek the face of God for the state.

He added that God had promoted and protected the projects and programmes of his administration from conceptions, ground breaking, and constructions to inaugurations.

Emmanuel told the people of Akwa Ibom to strengthen their faith in God during the coming elections in order to avert the negative plans against the state.

The end of the year 2018 gathering of public office-holders in the state featured prayers of supplication, confessions, testimonies and songs from the congregation and the choir group.
