Gov Umo Eno Extols Obong Attah over Contributions to State Devt

 As Obong Victor Attah rounds off activities marking his 85th birthday celebration, Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has extolled his remarkable contributions to the development of the State.

Speaking at a special Thanksgiving Mass in his honour, at St. Dominic's Catholic Church, Dominic Utuk Avenue, Uyo, he expressed gratitude to God for making the celebrator a pillar of strength and a visionary.
The Governor who had earlier in the day attended a special thanksgiving/welcome service in honour of the immediate past Governor of the State, Mr. Udom Emmanuel and wife, Dr. Martha at the United Evangelical Church (formerly Qua Iboe Church), Lagos Township Superintendency, expressed delight that he was able to join Obong Attah at the Thanksgiving Mass given his valuable contribution to the development and growth of the state.
In his words, "Today, we join the family of HE, Obong Attah, to thank God who has made him to be 85 years and a pillar of strength to us all. When Obong Attah was Governor, he was the one who made my company, Royalty Hotel what it is; because most of the retreats we had in the State then were held in Royalty Hotels." 

"Your Excellency, I am here to congratulate you, and to appreciate you for your love and passion for the State, your fight for resource control that we are all enjoying today, and your doggedness in fighting for the betterment of the State. Thank you for making Akwa Ibom what it has become today."

"Actually, you laid the foundation, and all the things we see today were your vision. The airport, seaport, and a united Akwa Ibom, and today, in your lifetime, these things are being achieved,  and the airport is rightly named after you. We thank God for all the things that God has used you to do in Akwa Ibom State," he said.

Speaking further, the Governor said, "in every generation, God raises a man who would stand up for the people, who would lead the people, and we are fortunate in our generation for God to raise a man like you sir, to chart a course, for which we now follow."

"So on behalf of the Government and people of Akwa Ibom State, we wish you a very very happy birthday and many happy returns."

"May the good Lord continue to increase your strength because the Bible says "as thy days is, so shall thy strength be, (Deuteronomy 33:25).  May your strength never fail. May God continue to keep you as you do more for humanity. Thank you so much your Excellency, Happy birthday," he added.
