Fubara Hails Umah Ukpai’s Contributions To Global Christian Evangelism

Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi  Fubara, has paid glowing tributes to the late gospel preacher, Rev (Dr) Uma Ukpai, applauding  his contributions  to global evangelism and positive impacts on the  Christian community in Nigeria and beyond.

The governor  who spoke during a Special Service of Songs in honour of the deceased cleric  at the Royal House of Grace International Church in Port Harcourt, last week, said the  late Reverend lived a life of dedication to the service of God.

The governor who was represented by the Chief of Staff, Government House Port Harcourt, Barr Sunny Ewule, said the State Government was deeply appreciative of the immense contributions and sacrifices of the late preacher who brought the gospel to global limelights.

“We’re here to celebrate the life of God’s general who has sacrificed for all of us. He’s always in the limelights in religious affairs, his crusades were well known all over, he has touched lives everywhere.

“The Rivers State Government celebrates with his family and the entire Christian community over his life,” he said.

In his homily, Pastor Cletus Desmond of the Redemption Ministries extolled the good works of the late cleric, stating that he served his generation meritoriously, and urged other Christians to emulate the late minister of the gospel.

Earlier in his welcome address, the host and founder of the Royal House of Grace International Church, Apostle Zilly Aggrey, had described late Ukpai as a great oracle of God, noting that the gathering was a moment of reflection, celebration and thanksgiving for a life wholly dedicated to the service of God.

Highlights of the event were praises and worship, goodwill messages and prayers for the bereaved families and the entire christian community.
