A Catholic cleric, Rev. Fr. Martin Tobi says Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State is synonymous with ‘blessing’ even as he pray for the grace and mercy of God on the governor.

Fr Tobi’s remark received nod as other guests from Ikom, Cross River State said they are always glued to their television and social media interface where Governor David Umahi builds churches and ecumenical centre for worship.
Mr. Ogburang Okpa said he is surprised of the manner of man Governor Umahi is.
“Honestly, what Rev Fr Tobi said is truth, I am surprised, your governor is just a good man,
“Sometime I will be wondering if other governors see what he is doing in your state (Ebonyi)”
Meanwhile the cleric during his homily urged the newlyweds to complement each other in marriage, saying marriage institution is a sacred one that should not be defied.
While admitting no marriage is without challenges, he said only tolerance and mutual understanding heal ailing homes.
