Eno harps on continued respect, prayers for leaders

The governor of Akwa Ibom State, Pastor Umo Eno, has said he will continue to lead the people of Akwa Ibom State with the fear of God, and with a deeper commitment to the ideals of Christ-centric leadership.

Eno who spoke at the celebration of the 55th anniversary of Archbishop Isaiah Isong in God’s vineyard, held at The Believers Assembly Nigeria, Uyo, also
described him as a man with exceptional passion and devotion to preaching the word of God.

He acknowledged that for 55 years, Isong has sown and watered the seed in the Lord’s vineyard which, according to him, has grown exponentially.

Eno commended the celebrator for being a staunch supporter of his administration’s determined efforts to galvanize the people to arise to embrace the light and transformation that has come to the State.

He appreciated the people for their continued support while reiterating that his administration is poised to serve the people to prove that government can be a reliable vehicle for meaningful growth and progress.

“Each time we embark on some of these government projects that directly touch the life of our people, we think of what you and other great individuals have charged us to make sure that the poor should not be forgotten in our scheme of things. We therefore, always see ourselves as that answer to good governance in Akwa Ibom State; we see ourselves as the continuous builder on the foundation that our predecessors have laid”, the governor said.

In his remarks, Prelate Isaiah Isong thanked God for the grace to serve Him, and for sustainance throughout the 55 years.

He described the 55 years as 55 years of tough and rough Ministry apprenticeship; and 55 years of falling and failing but never abandoned by the merciful God.
