Akpabio says: ““This being the first pilgrimage by a Nigerian leader to Jerusalem, I believe that God is going to look at Nigeria favourably and our lives would never be the same again.“
Governor Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom says President Goodluck Jonathan’s participation in the 2013 Christian pilgrimage to Israel is a turning point in the spiritual rebirth of the country.
This is contained in a statement signed by the Commissioner for Information and Communications, Mr Aniekan Umana, in Uyo on Wednesday.
“I believe strongly that being the first historic pilgrimage by any president in Nigeria since 1914 would be a turning point for our country.
“I know that past Heads of State and Presidents who were Muslim had undertaken pilgrimages to Medina and Mecca.
“This being the first pilgrimage by a Nigerian leader to Jerusalem, I believe that God is going to look at Nigeria favourably and our lives would never be the same again.
“I am very convinced that this is a turning point for national rebirth.
“This is a turning point by Mr President to transform this nation.
“Any transformation that does not have spiritual connotation is not enough,” the statement quoted Akpabio as saying.

Who says the African is not a confused specimen?

So prayer without work or planning is equal to prosperity abi? Mumu a$S licking governor

This dude takes psycophancy to another level.
Nigeria as it stand is already the most church/camp going nation and that hasn't changed anything.
God knows the true intention of people and is not deceived by outward pretense.
The president has what it takes to change the country if he has the will and sets exemplary examples first.

I'm hanging out in this jungle called Nigeria.

Apabio is a motor park clown so no supprise here.

And I told Akpabio that this Jamaica weed is not good for his health. Now see what it has resulted into.

im thinking this is the same guy they refer to as AKPORS in comic relieve.
what a global joke.

This man never fails to display his shallowness anywhere anytime

"People get the kind of Leaders they deserve".... well done Nigerians, Godswill and Goodluck are your creations.. while the non Pilgrimage goers have Obama!

uyo is judge to be one of d most beautiful (if not d most) cities in nigeria right now. apabio has implimented pple oriented programmes, more dan any other governor in dis administration. wat do u call dat, playing? can ur governor boast of such achievements?
conclusively, i think u've gat no home training for hurling insults on an active governor.

Look at this fool, nations the size of local governments like Singapore are leaving us behind and you are here praising a governor building flyovers when you have no traffic and mass unemployment in your state.

Sharrap ur dirty stinking mouth. Tout like u. I guess ur a boot licking tout, always blind to the inefficiencies of politicians because they give u peanuts.

What a daft thing to say........Akpos-bio.

I doubt if he came up with the idea of any of the road network, the tropicana and other on-going projects in AKS.

Terrible .... Nigeria, i repeat died a long time ago!

Unles the LORD build, the builders build in vain. As man's actions, strugles, & works are void; except in conformity with DIVINE WILL. Gej may wield all the machineries of govt, bt without G-D'S blesins, he can't do anything! So, Akpabio has a pt.
