I Support Udom Emmanuel’s Plan To Build An International Worship Centre – Otuekong Etiebet

I support Akwa Ibom State Governor, Mr Udom Emmanuel’s plans to build an international worship centre for God in the state, Otuekong Don Etiebet has said.

He recently revealed this to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, he does not understand the unnecessary criticism that has greeted the project billed for completion and commissioning in 2022, because it’s a very good idea.

He added that if several citizens of Akwa Ibom State can build private altars and churches for God, there is no moral justification why a state cannot be allowed to do the same.

His words, “What’s all this fuss about building a Worship Centre? Many of us capable, build worship places and Altars in our houses and also build churches for our parishes. So what’s wrong with a Governor, who believes in God in his ways, building a Worship Centre for his constituents?”

“Everywhere in the world, even in communist countries, a big beautiful worship centre, whether Christian or Islam, is a big historic and tourist site. Let’s not be hypocrites. Let’s criticise what is bad and praise what is good, no matter our political affiliations.”
