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

Fubara gave the commendation yesterday during a special service of songs in honour of the deceased cleric at the Royal House of Grace International Church, Port Harcourt.

The governor, who was represented by the chief of staff, Government House, Barr Sunny Ewule, said Ukpai lived a life of dedication to the service of God.

He stated that the Rivers State government was deeply appreciative of the immense contributions and sacrifices of the late preacher, who brought the gospel to global limelight.

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

“The Rivers State government celebrates with his family and the entire Christian community over his life,” the governor said

In his homily, Pastor Cletus Desmond of the Redemption Ministries extolled the good works of the late Ukpai, 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 the late preacher as a great oracle of God

Aggrey said the gathering was a moment of reflection, celebration and thanksgiving for a life wholly dedicated to the service of God.
