Thousands of Christian women celebrate Wike’s re-election
Amaka Agbu, Port Harcourt
Thousands of Christian women in Rivers state have taken to the streets of Port Harcourt to celebrate the victory of Governor, Nyesom Wike, declaring that his victory was an “act of God.”
Celebrating under the aegis of “Rivers Women Prayer Network,” the women converged on Aggrey Road in Port Harcourt Township where they offered praises to God for delivering the state from what they described as the evil machinations of anti-Rivers politicians.
The women knelt down on the streets of Port Harcourt to offer thanks to God for the victory of Governor Wike after weeks of violent political attacks in the state.
The street celebration by the Rivers Women Prayer Network was flavoured with the rendition of different Christian praise songs.
They marched from Aggrey Road through to Government House, Port Harcourt, before they ended at the Rivers state Ecumenical Centre, where they prayed for the protection of Governor Wike. They also prayed for the peace and development of the state.
Leader of the Rivers Women Prayer Network, Mrs. Help-Mate Ene Secondus said Rivers women asked God for the re-election of Governor Wike and he answered their prayers.
She said: “We asked God for the re-election of Governor Wike and God gave us victory. We vowed during our prayer sessions that once God answers our prayers, we shall hit the roads of Port Harcourt to praise God.
“This is a victory made by God for Rivers state. Rivers state is not owned by Wike or Amaechi. It is owned by God. In the year of jubilee, Rivers women fasted for 50 days and handed over the state to God.
The enemy has no choice, but to quit Rivers state. God has given us victory through the successful emergence of Governor Wike,” she said.
She said that Governor Wike had operated as a Christian leader by declaring the state as a Christian state, adding that “this is a 100 per cent Christian state and it is also a 100 per cent PDP state.
That is why Christian women have gathered to celebrate the victory given to us by God.
“This victory will be made permanent by God and nobody can change it. Because this victory is not from any man, let all Rivers people join Governor Wike to develop Rivers state, ” she said.
