Vice President Professor Yemi Osinbajo has declared that Akwa Ibom state shall become greater and more fruitful as it grows older if the people shall continue to acknowledge God as the source of their blessing.
Osinbajo made the prophetic declaration during a sermon at an interdenominational service held at the prestigious Ibom Hall Grounds, IBB Way, Uyo to mark the 32nd anniversary of the state's creation.
The theme of the service was "For I Believe in God," and the vice president preached on the topic: "As Your Day So Shall Your Strength Be."
He stated that God made a promise to Abraham about fruitfulness and it came to pass even when he and Sarah, his wife, doubted due to their advanced age, notwithstanding God made the promise to manifest.
He observed that Akwa Ibom state and its people have demonstrated their affection to God hence the peace and prosperity they are enjoying.
“Akwa Ibom shall continue to abound in prosperity and I urge the people to eschew sin and walk blameless to benefit from the covenant blessings.
“This is a clarion call on those who have derailed or have never had a second birth to surrender their lives to God and submit themselves to God for a renewal or new birth,” the vice president said.
In his remarks, Governor Udom Emmanuel, reaffirmed his abiding faith in God who has proved himself mighty in the affairs of Akwa Ibom.
The state chief executive acknowledged the prayers of the fathers of faith which accounts for the significant records of development witnessed in the state.
Governor Emmanuel described the theme of the anniversary as very apt, saying that Akwa Ibom is a state named after God as such the people have every reason to be grateful to God who from cradle brought the state to existence with abundant resources.
In his goodwill message, Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, who spoke on behalf of the governors present, expressed gratitude to God for the progress witnessed in Akwa Ibom and the godly leadership of Governor Emmanuel, who he said is running a Christ-centered governance.
Osinbajo had earlier declared Akwa Ibom state as one of the forward-looking investment hubs in the country.
The vice president made the declaration during the inauguration of Kings Flour mill as part of programs to mark the 32nd anniversary of the state's creation.
