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.
In his honour, Wike addressed the congregation at the family thanksgiving ceremony conducted on Sunday at St. Peter’s Anglican Church in Rumuepirikom Deanery, Diocese of Niger Delta North.
The outgoing governor clarified that he cannot discuss his successes while serving as governor without thanking God for them.

He related how, 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 Rivers State governor recalled that on one fateful Sunday in December 2018, when he was due to attend the thanksgivings of his former Chief of Staff, Chief Emeka Woke, he was incapacitated to attend the event because he had been poisoned.
Wike 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 stated that the next morning the doctors returned and presented a gloomy report that his kidney and liver were no longer functioning.
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.
