Forces of darkness dislodged during Rivers governorship election, says Wike

Governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike, has declared that he remains the state governor because of the intervention of God who dislodged the forces of darkness primed to rob Rivers people of their mandate on March 9.

Speaking during the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Holy Ghost rally at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium on Sunday, Gov. Wike described himself as a living testimony of God’s blessing.

He said: “Nigerians are aware of what happened on March 9. If anyone says he does not believe in God, that event of March 9 should make you believe in 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.”

Gov. Wike said the criticisms on his declaration of Rivers state as a Christian state cannot stop him from affirming the reality, stating that “anytime I have the opportunity, I repeat the declaration with authority and I owe nobody an apology. I am standing on solid authority. Rivers state is a Christian state.”

He commended the Redeemed Christian Church of God for their sanitation programme, reiterating that “if all churches embark on sanitation, our state will be cleaner. We will support this programme financially and we shall donate three vehicles to the church for the programme.”

Wike said that God had used the general overseer of RCCG to bless Rivers state and that the annual Holy Ghost rally has been a blessing to the state.

General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Pastor Enoch Adeboye said everyone needs help, noting that the best source to get help is from God.

He said: “No matter how influential and powerful, everyone needs help. Everyone needs help and the best help you can get is from the Almighty God.”

He said that divine help is always on time and manifests at the time it is needed and prayed for Gov. Wike, and the people of the state.

The Pastor in- charge of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Belemina Obunge announced that the second phase of the church’s environmental sanitation programme has commenced.

He expressed gratitude to the governor and the state government of for their support over the years.

Over 40, 000 Christian faithful thronged the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium for the RCCG Holy Ghost rally, which had the theme: “Divine help.”
