General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye has assured that God would ethrone a successor who would implement the blueprint of Governor Udom Emmanuel for Akwa Ibom.

Speaking on the theme “Go Forward”, he said he was in the state as an oracle of God to proclaim to Akwa Ibom people to move forward, as God has no pleasure in backwardness or stagnation
He however urged the people and political leaders to ensure that only persons with a heart for the suffering masses are given positions of authority and adnonished those in authority to be humane and fair in their dealing with people.
Governor Emmanuel in his speech identified peace as God’s greatest blessing to the State during his tenure as Governor and has been fundamental to all other achievements of his administration.
Expounding on his assertion that the greatest thing God has done for the state is that which money cannot buy, he said, “what God has done for us mostly is the peace we are enjoying in Akwa Ibom State. Peace that passes human understanding and thought that peace God has brought development.
” It’s an oasis of peace and tranquility, drawing people from all over the nation to come here, live, invest and thrive. We will never sound boastful, but for everything we have we give glory to God.
“As we have done in the preceding year, to hand over the State to the Almighty God, I want us to rededicate this State unto God. When we rededicate something to God, we are asking him to strengthen what He has done for you.
“So today we are standing as a people telling God, strengthen that which you have done for Akwa Ibom State and God will do it for us in Jesus name”, the Governor said, reassuring that God has never disappointed the state, even in the most tempestuous times.”
