Deputy Governor Philip Shuaibu at the occasion on Sunday
The Edo State Deputy Governor, Philip Shuaibu has called on every institutional leader and the general public to be truthful in whatever circumstances they find themselves.
He spoke to newsmen shortly after a conventional church service held at The Apostolic Church of Nigeria, Lwana Territory campground in Benin City, on Sunday.
The Deputy Governor, who was received with loud ovation, said, “my message to the world as part of the 45th annual main convention of The Apostolic Church of Nigeria is for them to know the truth and abide in it as only in that can God set us free”.
“One of the most critical part of our lives today is to know the truth and speak the truth. As people of God and followers of Jesus, we must follow to truth to be free from damnation.”
“This 45th annual convention of The Apostolic Church of Nigeria, will usher in peace, love and moral understanding in Edo State and Nigeria in general,” Shaibu added.
Speaking earlier, the Territory Chairman of the church, Pastor Dr. S.G.O Uyeh, said that his message to the people of God out there is to live in the House of God and believe in Him. “People should not be far from the House of God because, all benefits are there for serving God in truth.”
“We need to be truthful in whatever we do in Nigeria. The government is sabotaging the truth. Let the people rise up in the truth. As the Bible has said; “find the truth, I sell it not,” he added.
Shortly afterwards, the congratulation engaged in intercessory prayers for the Deputy Governor who is aspiring to contest for the governorship of the state on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in the days ahead.
