Udom Emmanuel, Akwa Ibom State governor, has said God and not his predecessor, Godswill Akpabio, discovered and made him governor.

Mr Emmanuel made the claim on Friday at a Victory Thanksgiving Service to thank God for the success of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the concluded 2019 general elections.

POLITICS TIMES recalls that insinuations in some quarters had it that Mr Akpabio brought the banker into politics and ensured he succeeded him in office.

Although Akpabio who represents Akwa Ibom North West at the Senate admitted that truly it was God who made Emmanuel governor of the state in 2015, he said it was him who discovered his successor at a religious gathering in Lagos State.

“I met Udom Emmanuel performing the duties of a deacon in Qua Iboe Church, Surulere. I immediately adjudged that as a deacon, he would superintend over the affairs of the State with the fear of God,” the lawmaker said in a post-election article he wrote on Thursday.

“Whether I was right or wrong is for history to judge. Nevertheless, I picked him to succeed me and by the grace of God and the votes of Akwa Ibom electorates, he won the election. So God made him governor,” Akpabio added.

Denying he was discovered by his predecessor, Emmanuel said it was God who found him worthy to ascend the throne.

“No man shall be able to stop what God has destined for us. As a man, we are not limited by our circumstances, we are limited by our faith in God. As a man, whoever God discovers, no man can cover. God discovered Udom Emmanuel, no man can cover Udom Emmanuel, no stranger can cover Udom Emmanuel,” the governor said.

He pledged to serve the people of the state with all his might, strength, intellect and connection, and make them his priority, adding that God had given the state a new beginning and launched it into a new path.

See these Freemason and occult men calling God's Name anyhow as if they truly reverence him. God is just too merciful.

Awon eleyi...

Nigerian politicians only remember God when they want to exploit us or pull our emotions. The moment they enter... God leaves there life �



Meanwhile, I sell UK used with the fear of God

that wat akpabio did to Victor Atta . now Udom to Akpabio. Udom will also get his own verson.


I think Akwa ibom people are uncontrollable once they get power.

Marry their women and they will become Queen in ur home and separate u from ur family. Infact, one will hate his own family with passion.

Naija politicians no go kill person.

Akpabio was beaten to his own game.

Well, Godfathers need to learn the hard way. Umana Umana was the SSG, few months to election Akpabio fired Umana and replaced him with Emmanuel from nowhere. If he had ordained Umana who worked with him for 8years, he wouldn't be in this quagmire. Anyway, Emmanuel on the other hand is performing and the voters have no reason to think twice who to vote for.

And someone will definitely do so to udom. It's simply karma, it's a bitch.

Akpabio singlehandedly made udom the governor. He broke all the pdp laws, forge documents to make udom a pdp gov candidate against all odds. Today, he forgets so completely. Tomorrow, another person will do so to him and the cycle continues
