Cross River State Governor, Senator Bassey Otu has said that he would not hesitate to sack any appointee in his administration who misuses power and uses it to oppress people.
During a government-organised inter-denominational solemn Assembly with the theme, Heal our Land, Oh Lord! on Saturday, the governor emphasised that power is for service.
He acknowledged the sacrifice of his wife Rev. (Mrs.) Eyoawan Otu in driving the idea of the solemn assembly adding that the theme was apt because there is so much work to do and he is committed to deliver on his ‘People First’ agenda.
“However, it is also important that the state is dedicated to God”, Otu said.
Clerics at the event offered prayers for the state, the local government, the legislature, and the judiciary as well as Nigeria and the President.
The Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria in Cross River State, Rev. Takis Caifas prayed specifically for the governor and his family.
Founder of the Christian Central Chapel International, Bishop Emma Isong ministered at the assembly and took his sermon from the Second Chronicles 7:14.
He urged the people to seek the face of God as the governor had done, adding that the governor needs the support of all for the state to move forward.
