GOVERNMENT OF AKWA IBOM STATE OF NIGERIA

PRESS RELEASE

AKWA IBOM STATE GOVERNMENT DECLARES A THREE-DAY STATE FASTING

In furtherance of its avowed commitment to maintaining peace and fostering economic prosperity, the Government of Akwa Ibom State has declared a-three day fasting and prayer programme ‪from 15th to 17th November, 2018‬ to usher in the commencement of political campaigns and other political activities for the 2019 general elections.

However, this does not imply any public holiday. In the first two days of the programme, those in public offices and in private business locations, are expected to gather and pray at the close of work to round off the fasting. ‪On Saturday, November 17, 2018‬, everyone who can make it to the Banquet Hall Grounds, Government House, Uyo is invited for the final prayers at an open service ‪at 4pm‬.

The theme of the programme which defies the mere rhetoric of politics is “PEACE BE STILL” (Mark 4:39) and the essence is to collectively pray to God to avert all forms of bloodshed and violence in our State throughout the electioneering period. We would also pray that no matter how the messengers of evil overstretch to rob us of our peaceful environment, God should continue to protect and sustain us. Our last prayer point would be that only ordained God-fearing leaders shall emerge as winners in all elective offices.

The Government of Akwa Ibom State enjoins our spiritual fathers and leaders of faith-based organisations, churches, government offices, markets, farm settlements, schools, motor parks, and indeed every business organization, to encourage their members to participate in this very important three-day programme. Citizens and Residents of Akwa Ibom state; irrespective of political affiliation or religious leaning are also implored to join in the interest of the peace and unity of our dear state.

As a people, we must remain grateful to God Almighty for His ceaseless benevolence and abundance of peace which our beloved State has enjoyed in the past three and a half years. We do not take that for granted. We have toiled, we have travelled around the globe to paint a glorious picture of a new and prosperous Akwa Ibom. Our efforts have been rewarded by the large and continuous influx of investors to our state. The sustenance of this new lease of economic prosperity is hinged on the peace, safety and security within our borders. We believe that politics should not be a platform to roll-out drums of violence and criminality that can destroy all that we have built within the last few years.

The Government of Akwa Ibom State therefore has put in place adequate security measures to ensure a peaceful atmosphere in our state during the forthcoming general elections.

It is Only God that can give us peace in and out of the election period, and we trust that He is always faithful to do it for us.

God bless us all, Akwa Ibom Dakkada.

HappyNigerian:

The guy see say everything is turning against him, he quickly declare three days fasting. I can't stop laughing.

If El-Rufai should declare one day fasting in Kaduna, the whole Nigeria will hear. They will be shouting Religious bigotry.

God forbid this double standard people

Udom is a Deacon, he believe in the superiority of God.

Akwa Abasi Ibom is God's own state, dedicating the state to God is not out of place.
Moreso, Akwa Ibomites are 100% Christians so there is no religious bigotry here.

Meanwhile, Akwa Ibom is 100% Udom and PDP

Nothing surprise me more than someone assuming PDP will win Akwa Ibom

State-sponsored religious extremism. Akwa Ibom is a secular state, please.

MrAJQ:


Nothing surprise me more than someone assuming PDP will win Akwa Ibom

Nothing amaze me more than that someone telling himself that APC stand a chance in Akwa Ibom of all states and the entire SouthSouth and Southeast geopolitical zones. It's more painful that this same someone believe his own lies

Hallelujah

See what the Bible says about makeup

Politicians won't fast.

well......

TonyeBarcanista:

White fasting is for those of us who believe Udom will not be elected again in 2019 while dry fasting is for those who believe Udom himself will decamp to APC before 2019 election.

Dude should pay pensioners' salaries and stop involving religion every now and then. How about the inane plan to construct a 9BN enumenical centre?

Modified: I've researched on the modalities in paying gratuities and understand that Udom doesn't owe. But the bolded stand.

Religion will continue to be a problem in this country.... A whole 3 days!

Nigeria has been fasting since 1960 and yet the country is backward and in total darkness, China, Singapore, Western Europe, North America and the Oceania do not fast like Nigerians and things are working well in those countries .

God is tired of our useless prayers and fasting, God requires equity, fairness, justice and mercy, as long as the poor masses are suffering, oppressed and killed daily by the same useless politicians across the country, the fasting is useless to God.

God has a special place for the poor in his eternal program for humanity, enough of been religious and godless, what kind of nonsense is this

Egein:
State-sponsored religious extremism. Akwa Ibom is a secular state, please.

Akwa Ibom is 100% a Christian state, but the state accommodates people of all faith!

TonyeBarcanista:

Even Akpabio know that Udom is Akwa Ibom and Akwa Ibom is Udom

2019 election is near. Not by 6-6 fasting

SamuelAnyawu:
Lol Africa and Religion.


They should be mourning on how their governors have plundered their wealth

Udom is not your typical African leader. Take note!
