Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has said criticisms of his
declaration of Rivers State as a Christian State cannot stop him
from affirming the reality.
This is as he declared that he remains Rivers State Governor
because of the intervention of God who dislodged forces of darkness
who were primed to rob the state of his mandate on March 9.
Speaking during the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Holy
Ghost Rally at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Sunday, Wike said he owed no
apology for the declaration.
He said: “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.”
Describing himself as a living testimony of God’s blessing, Wike
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. “
He commended the Redeemed Christian Church of God for their
sanitation programme, tagged “Pick A Thrash “.
“If we have 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,” he
said.
Wike said that God had used the General Overseer of RCCG to
bless Rivers State, stating 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 and that the best
source of help is 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 prayed for Wike, Rivers State and her people.
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 Wike and the Government of Rivers
State for the support over the years.
