The Senator representing Akwa Ibom South in the National Assembly, Senator Ekong Sampson has charged leaders to marry public service with their backgrounds for the betterment of the nation.
Senator Sampson made the call yesterday during the Special Service and Fund Raising for Church Building Project, held at All Nations Christian Ministry International, Onna Mission Field, Ikot Udo Junction in Onna Local Government Area.
Senator Sampson commended Governor Umo Eno - the Chief Shepherd of the church, for edifying a Godly, people-driven administration in Akwa Ibom State since coming on board. He lauded the Governor on the recently flagged-off food security programme, which he said, was a timely intervention to provide succour for people of the State.
Senator Sampson, who is the Chairman, Senate Committee on Solid Minerals, said that Akwa Ibom has enjoyed considerable peace and harmony under Governor Eno, noting that sustained peace will usher in great development for the State, while praising the Governor's commitment to rural development.
Senator Sampson opined that leaders at various strata should marry public service with their backgrounds in order to deliver good governance to the people. He commended the missionary expansion of the All Nations Church, and tasked church leaders not to relent in providing the needed moral base for the society.
In support to the church, Senator Sampson, on behalf of other members of the 10th National Assembly from Akwa Ibom State extraction, announced a donation of N10million towards the building project of newly planted All Nations Christian Ministry in Onna.
