Governor Godswill Akpabio of Akwa-Ibom State, on Friday, blamed the many problems in the country on false prophecies by some preachers.
Akpabio in a statement through his Special Assistant on Media, Mr. Jackson Udom said the governor made the observation at a Gala night in honour of the participants of the 28th General Assembly of Christian Council of Nigeria in Uyo.
The governor said, “A lot of problems we have in this country are because some bishops and pastors speak when God has not spoken.”
He said, “A greater percentage of problems in this country are caused by false prophecies. In your daily ministration, you must always allow God to lead you. Don’t speak when God has not spoken.”
While thanking the council for the recognition, the governor admonished its members to remain focused as leaders in their various churches.
The President of the council, Most Rev. Emmanuel J. Udofia, who announced the conferment of the Most Church Friendly Governor Award on the governor, said the award was in recognition of Akpabio’s “qualitative leadership and exemplary service to the church and humanity.”
Udofia also said, “In appreciation of your good work to God and humanity, the church honours you with the Most Church Friendly Governor Award.”
