Governor Nyesom Wike, on Sunday, said the reason he is still a governor of his state is because of the intervention of God who dislodged forces of darkness who were prepared to rob the Rivers mandate on March 9, 2019.
His re-election was hotly contested with the All Progressives Congress, APC, supported African Action Congress’ candidate, Awara Biokpomabo nearly dethroning the governor.
Wike who spoke during the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Holy Ghost Rally at the Adokiye Amiesimaka described himself as a living testimony of God’s blessing.
He said: “Nigerians are aware of what happened on 9th March 2019. If anyone says he does not believe in God, that event of March 9 should make you believe God.
“But for God, the enemies would have taken over the state. I thank the Church for standing firm. They prayed for God’s will to be done and God’s will was done. But for your prayers, I won’t be here as Rivers State Governor. ”
