Aspiration of Akwa Ibom PDP guber candidate, Emmanuel, receives divine endorsement

The aspiration of the Peoples Demo­cratic Party (PDP) gubernatorial can­didate in the next month’s elections, Mr, Udom Em­manuel, yesterday received divine blessings, following the dedication of the proj­ect into God’s hands.
The event, which took place at the Qua Iboe Church, Ikot Ekpene Road, Uyo attracted a large crowd of PDP faithful, the business and political class, various political and socio-cultural groups who came to show solidarity to the governorship candidate.

Addressing the people, Deacon Udom Emmanuel said he did not come to the church to campaign, but led his team to consult and seek divine blessings in view of the assignments before him.
“We did not come to cam­paign because we know that God is with us, and as Chris­tians, we must always invite Him to guide us in our aspira­tions,” the governorship can­didate said.
Drawing inspiration from Psalm 37:5 which says; “‘Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him and He shall bring it to pass,” Emmanuel urged the people to always seek the consent of God in their affairs.
He assured that as a believ­er in God’s precepts, he was of the belief that without the divine backing, his aspiration would be in vain.
The governorship candi­date, who used the occasion to urge all Christians in the state to support God-fearing leaders through the PDP, noted that the party was the only one that placed God at the centre of its activities.
Earlier, the Director General of the Campaign Council Otuekong Idongesit Nkanga, had advised the Christian faithful to support the emergence of Emmanuel as a God-fearing leader with needed managerial and intel­lectual capacity to lead the state.
Nkanga, who traced good leadership to godly men from biblical times, called on all Akwa Ibom people to vote for Udom, whom he de­scribed as a man after God’s heart.
