Story by Okafor Vivian
Senate President Godswill Akpabio has described himself as the “highest-ranked Christian in government,” attributing his political rise to what he called the special grace of God.
Akpabio made the statement on Saturday during the blessing and inauguration of the Regina Coeli Parish Rectory in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. The event, attended by senior clergy and political leaders, featured a reflection by the Senate President on his journey “from nobody to the number-three citizen,” which he said was evidence of divine favour.
In a statement issued by his media aide, Akpabio noted that although he belongs to all Christian denominations, he maintains a strong identity with the Catholic Church. He urged Nigerians to deepen their commitment to God and support the development of their local churches, adding that no contribution is too small to be accepted by God.

The Senate President encouraged citizens to remain steadfast in faith, stressing that service to God remains essential regardless of one’s position in society.
