According to Sammy, Rev Ukpai should not be told to rest in peace because he was already resting in peace before his death.
He described the deceased as a supernatural being who led an exemplary life that everyone should follow.
Instead of rest in peace, he said, "We owe him 'Keep resting in peace'", as Rev Ukpai reflected the kingdom of God.
He added that it was an honour to have been alive when Rev Ukpai lived. His Facebook post partly read:
"...Truly, He came, He saw, he really saw, yes he did. He saw what some of us would have seen and we'd call it a quit, but he stood still and expressed what our generation cannot forget. Here is a human being who lived and left a script of living for everyone. In all honesty, HE CONQUERED.
"I don't think we should tell him to rest in peace. It is because, a rest in peace doesn't begin now for men like him. He was resting in peace already before his exit. This man was a supernatural being; he lived it and we should live it. We owe him "Keep resting in Peace". He reflected the kingdom of God (righteousness, Peace, and joy in the holy Ghost). Romans 14 v 17.
