“If you have lived up to your responsibility to your children, my job would have been fifty% done, because it is the attitude of every single child that will determine the level that child can go to,” the governor told his audience. He urged children in Akwa Ibom to be respectful to constituted authorities, their parents as well as elders in the society He noted that if Christians live by God's words, society would be much better and attract blessings from God.
