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.
