Governor Nyesom Wike has said that Rivers is a Christian state and that he had no apologies for saying that.
Wike said this on Sunday during a crusade organised by The Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministry at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium in Port Harcourt.
The governor attributed his political survival to the support and prayers of the Christian community.
“We saw forces, but the greater force, God Almighty came. With this crusade, Rivers State will be abundantly blessed.
“I repeat once again without apologies, Rivers State is a Christian state. That is why nobody can touch us. When it mattered most, the Christian community prayed and God heard your prayers.
“I will continue to support the activities of all churches. This government will always partner with the churches, whatever the programme they are engaged in. I urge the church to continue to pray. Each time you pray, put us in your prayers.
“On March 9 2019 light prevailed over darkness. God showed himself and he is in charge. But for God, I wouldn’t have been here addressing the Christian faithful.
“The enemies came to Rivers State to take over the state and stop the will of the people. But God said no and the will of the people prevailed,” Wike said.
He commended the general overseer of the ministry, Lazarus Muoka, for bringing the crusade to Rivers.
