Governor Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State has said he wants
to partner with God to become the President of Nigeria in the 2023 elections so
as to rescue the country and not to be the vice president as erroneously
assumed by a few persons.
Emmanuel is one of the presidential aspirants under the
platform of the Peoples Democratic Party and has been touring the country for
consultations.
In a prayer conference held at Banquet Hall, Government
House, Uyo, on Sunday, the presidential hopeful stressed that Nigeria needs a
visionary leader who is prepared to lead the country without
self-aggrandizement, adding that he believes Nigeria can come out of its
present condition with the right leader who will address its problems in the
economy, education and other sectors begging for attention.
According to him, “I am not entering the race to be Vice
President, I am entering the race so I can partner with God to be the President
of Nigeria.
“I think Nigeria has reached a point where God has to
intervene, if God does not intervene in 2023 we should forget it.
’’God is looking for a leader this time to partner with in
order to rescue and restore this country and if we all fold our arms thinking
that I don’t want to be blackmailed, misconstrued or misunderstood, we will
continue to be where we are. There must be someone who will tell God here am I
send me.
“There must arise someone who is going not for
self-aggrandizement not for what he can gain, but for what God can use him to
do. I am stepping out to say to God if you need a man to partner because we’ve
not recognized that God needs somebody to partner to rescue Nigeria, Lord, here
am I send me I am available’’.
He further remarked that leaders should be confident in
themselves.
Making reference to total dependence on foreign countries
for skills, raw materials and manpower development, he said such a trend could
be reversed if the right leaders are voted into power.
In his homily, the General Overseer, Evangelical Outreach
Ministries International, Prophet Isa El-Buba, speaking on the theme ‘Only
God’, called on Christians to believe in the leadership that God has set over
them, adding that it is through a godly covenant that the right leader can
emerge.
