The Abia State Government, led by Governor Alex Otti, on Thursday held a State burial service in honour of the late renowned evangelist, Reverend Uma Ukpai, who died at the age of 80.

The former Presidential candidate, Peter Obi and Bayelsa State Governor, Duoye Diri and his Akwa Ibom State counterpart, Umo Eno, attended the event, which was held at the International Conference Centre, Umuahia, Abia State.

The State burial service also attracted many other dignitaries, including Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, John Mbata, among others.

Speaking at the event, Governor Otti urged the people to live a good life so they would be remembered for good, stressing that Uma Ukpai did not die but only transited, as his legacies would remain indelible.

He also urged the people of Abia and Akwa Ibom, and the entire Christian faith, not to mourn but to live lives worthy of emulation.

Also speaking, Governor Eno, represented by his deputy, Akon Eyakenyi, described the late Uma Ukpai as a visionary who raised a good generation of people.

In his sermon, the President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, Bishop Francis Wale Oke, said that the late Uma Ukpai did not serve money but worked for God and humanity.

Rev. Dr. Uma Ukpai was a prominent Nigerian evangelist born in Asaga, Ohafia, in Abia State.

He was the founder and president of Uma Ukpai Evangelistic Association (UUEA), a non-denominational gospel ministry based in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria.

Freemasons in politics and government, gathering to honour a lost freemason in the church. There is no place for little minds in a great work. All the world's a stage.

He's actually from Abia. But his ministry was in Akwa Ibom. Like we have many popular pastors in Lagos and Abuja, but they are not from there. It depends, when they die, they may wish to be buried in their state of origin.

Baba Isinku will always be available.

Asaga in Ohafia is in Abia State. His ministry is popular and more based in Akwa Ibom.

I Wouldn't disrespect a dead man.
All they prayers him and his likes who are still alive are still to pray made on behalf of Nigeria, what did it achieve? and will?
Former President Yakubu Gowon I stand to be corrected,formed pray for Nigeria movement, how better is Plateau State and surrounding states?
The Bible says a dead man knows nothing at all. Late Umai Ukpai will never again be bothered if Nigeria is blowing hot or cold, Tinubu this Wike that.
He has paid his dues.

Great man of God.
He had no boundaries.
Impacted millions of people, north, south, east and west. Anywhere he is buried will have been befitting. Everywhere was home to him.
What a life very well lived.

Mr. Agbotikuyo must be there. Waka waka.
