- The service was dedicated to honoring Udom Emmanuel and his wife, Mrs. Martha Emmanuel
Former Akwa Ibom State Governor Udom Emmanuel recently shared his chief regret from his tenure as the state’s leader.
He disclosed this during a Special Thanksgiving/Welcome Service hosted by the United Evangelical Church, Lagos Township Superintendency on Sunday.
The service was dedicated to honoring Udom Emmanuel and his wife, Mrs. Martha Emmanuel, as outlined in a statement released by the Press Unit of the Government House, Uyo, and shared with journalists on Monday.
In the statement, the ex-governor said he went to work as governor with a blueprint, and despite all his accomplishments, his only regret is that he did not have control over policies.
“The only regret I have is that I did not control policies. If I had control over policies as a state, trust me, we would have been miles ahead as a state. But today, I still thank God that we went with our blueprint and God helped us”, the ex-governor said.
Speaking further, he recalled his narrow escape in the 2016 Reigners Bible Church building collapse, saying it’s only God that can explain his escape.
The Reigners Bible Church building collapsed on December 10th, 2016 killing scores of worshippers and maiming others during the ordination of the Presiding Pastor, Akan Weeks.
