River State Governor, Dr. Ezenwo Nyesom Wike has tasked clergies in Nigeria and all over the world to help him provide an answer to one question he considered important but still begging for an answer, saying he’s still wonders why good people on earth die early.
Speaking while giving tribute and condolence message at the funeral and memorial service for wife of former Director General of the Department of State Security Services (DSS), Mr. Ita Ekpenyong, late Barrister Mrs. Temitope Ekpeyong-Ita in Calabar on Saturday, Wike asked why good people are dying early even when there are large number of evil people scattered all over the world.
“Something still baffles me; why do good people like Barr. Temitope Ekpeyong dies early when we have bad people still working freely and nothing is happening to them”? This is a question to the clergies.
“Please! The Clergies should help me ask God that one of his sons is asking that why do good people die early and bad people are working freely?
Until her death, Mrs. Ekpenyong, who died after a brief illness on March 15, 2019, was a staff of the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) Abuja.
Also present at the service which was aired live on African Independent Television and monitored by The Fatual are the Governor of Cross River State, Prof. Ben Ayade who was represented by his deputy, Professor Ivara Ejemot Esu, Akwa Ibom State Governor, Udom Gabriel Emmanuel, former governor of Cross River state, Donald Duke among other dignitaries.
