Nduese, who is a Personal Assistant to the governor on Media, said an iron bar fell and shattered the seat the governor was sitting on.
He debunked the insinuation that one of the governor’s aides was killed in the disaster, revealing that it was the man, who was handling the microphone during the event that was killed.
The PA said the deceased was not on the entourage of the governor and was not in the employ of the state government.
Nduese said, “He (the deceased) was not standing with the governor neither was he sitting behind the governor. I worked with the media team to the governor. The Commissioner for Information, Mr. Charles Udoh, and the Chief Press Secretary to the governor Mr. Ekerette Udoh, are in the hospital.
“Ekerette has a dislocation in his left leg; he also has internal pains. He is better now though he is still in the hospital.

“The governor did not run; he simply saw the falling iron coming, it stopped half way, then he walked out.”
According to Nduese, the governor said this at Qua Iboe Church, Ikot Ekpene Road, Uyo, on Sunday.
He explained that the governor urged Akwa Ibom people to continue praying for the families of the deceased worshippers and refrain from negative comments that could further worsen the pains of the bereaved families.
He said that the governor had declared a two-day mourning period in memory of the departed and for the speedy recovery of the injured.

DeleteIn all thank God for his life and condolence to family of the deceased
Hmmmmmm, God just saved udom
ReplyDeleteHmmm, this is the second time ekereye udoh is escaping death After the Dana plane crash
ReplyDeleteI just hope they will be transparent with their different reports! The governor did not run but walk off; because he's untouchable!
ReplyDeleteWhether he ran or walked off doesn't matter now! The disaster has already happened and many lives were cut short, while some are still fighting for their lives and some nursing their injuries.
Like we don't know that; when things like this happens and there's an important/top personality present, they are the ones that are first protected by their aides and rushed out immediately.
Very sad
ReplyDeleteOK. Good to know
ReplyDeleteHmmmmn
ReplyDeleteso who are those saying the gov was not in the church?
anyway, quick recovery to the injured
GOD BLESS MY SANTAS!
GOD BLESS MY ANGEL!!
GOD BLESS SDK!!!
It is such an unfortunate event. I watched TVC news last night and one lady recounted how she and her mum passed the church a day before the event and her mum was shocked that the place was having an ordination the following day. According to her, she said her mum was surprised and she said she hopes that the building would not collapse because only bolts and nuts held the pillars. And it came to pass... Justice must be meted out to those who did that very poor job.
ReplyDeleteForget it they will cover the story
DeleteMay God comfort all ooo. Chai the devil is really working 26 hours against God children.
ReplyDeleteEverybody should be alert in the spirit.
Thank God for the man
I'm shivering just imagining the whole event! God have mercy
ReplyDeleteI think he's trying to point out a miracle here.
ReplyDeleteOlivia, u don vex o. Na iron man na. RIP to those who lost their lives, speedy recovery to those in the hospital.
ReplyDeleteWhether the gov walked or ran out is inconsequential.....
ReplyDeleteVery unfortunate incident at this time of the year cos it's going to be a black Christmas for their families. May God grant their families the fortitude to bear the loss and may their souls rest in perfect peace in Jesus name, amen!
ReplyDeleteOh God! See press release. I am ashamed of this press Naija ppl
ReplyDeleteTrying to paint the Gov as Superman part is totally unnecessary and somehow irresponsible. He survived only by God's special grace
ReplyDeleteThis kind of press release is half baked. Any way how ever the governor got out of that place alife was not by his making. All power belongs to God
ReplyDeleteIt is obvious you people are covering up, may the dead rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteBuahhahahhahaha
ReplyDeleteSuperman ke? More like jazz man...“The governor did not run; he simply saw the falling iron coming, it stopped half way, then he walked out.”
ReplyDeleteSDK, I know Ekerette Udoh's number but I can't disclose it to you.
RIP and quick recovery.
ReplyDeleteVery useless report.
ReplyDeleteHe's trying to say the Governor is too big to run and be scared. He walked out majestically.
ReplyDeleteChoi..u guys r makin me laff i swear
