In what would have been a major tragedy, Gov. Emmanuel Udom escaped possible death by not arriving on time at a church programme he was suppose to attend in Uyo, Akwa-Ibom State.

According to a witness, The Reigners Bible Church, located along Uyo Village Road, was filled to capacity because its pastor was being consecrated as a Bishop, when the tragedy occurred.

The witness according to Premium Times said the Church was being renovated and upgraded because of the expected high number of guests on Saturday.

“Many people are buried under the debris as emergency workers continue rescue exercise,” he said.

Governor Udom Emmanuel was expected to attend the occasion, but, sources said he was not at the church when it collapsed.

“The governor has gone to the scene and is presently there helping with the rescue,” a witness said.
Our sources said many victims have been taken to various hospitals and mortuaries in the town.

My Governor cannot die. But I wonder why is it the sAme day he went there that the building collapse? Why did it not collapse yesterday when people were not there.?

Terrible

Am waiting for that over-zealous Christian brethren that will come to tell us how the dead are heading straight for heaven.
It's an unfortunate thing. And I hope the authorities that regulate public buildings such as that will dutifully do their jobs!
Why set such trap and go unpunished because you are some Bishop
