” I was poisoned at PDP Secretariat'” Wike explains.

Nyesom Wike, a former governor of Rivers State, claimed that despite the political coup against him, God had unquestionably stopped all of the evil plans against him.

At the family Thanksgiving service on Sunday, which was conducted at St. Peter’s Anglican Church in the Rumuepirikom Deanery of the Diocese of Niger Delta North in his honor, Wike gave a speech.

The outgoing governor clarified that he cannot discuss his successes while serving as governor without thanking God for them.

He remembered that in 2018, he had been poisoned at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) campaign secretariat and had been diagnosed with liver and renal failure in a hospital in Beirut, Lebanon.

The former governor of Rivers State stated that on a fateful Sunday in December 2018, when he was scheduled to attend Chief Emeka Woke’s thanksgivings, he was unable to do so because he had been poisoned.

He stated, “From that Sunday, I never came down from my room. It was bad, but those who attended the January 1st, State Banquet of 2019, will know that I never spoke that day. I just sat down there and I told my deputy governor to speak on my behalf.

“People didn’t know what was going on. After that banquet, by 12 midnight, I was taken out of the country because I thought it was over.

“When we got to Beirut, the doctors looked at me and I was looking at them. They were not telling me anything, they said we have to do many tests.”

He claimed that when the physicians visited the following morning, they delivered a somber message that his kidney and liver had stopped working.

” I never knew that I had been poisoned in our campaign secretariat. My intestinal were all black. The doctors did all they could do.

“But, through divine providence, what would have been a disastrous situation was miraculously turned around by God, who immediately began to restore his failed organs, ” Wike added.

He claimed that within a week, God had cured him, allowing him to fly back to Nigeria and begin the 2019 election campaign for his second term in office.
