Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State said yesterday that he was forewarned a long time ago that the Supervising Minister of Education, Chief Nyesom Wike, would betray him.
Speaking at the Saint Barth’s Anglican Church, Bera-Ogoni in Gokana LGA of the state, during the thanksgiving by Senator Magnus Ngei Abe, the governor said that the famous cleric, Apostle Johnson Suleiman, predicted in 2011 that Wike was going to betray him.
The prediction, according to him, was made soon after he recommended the then Chief of Staff, Government House, Port Harcourt for ministerial appointment.
The minister is now the arrowhead of the opposition to Amaechi ahead of the 2015 election.
The governor said he did not believe or take the prediction seriously more so when the minister even swore by the lives of his children that he would never betray him (Amaechi).
He said he has done so much for Wike to repay him with evil.
The governor cited his intervention when the people of Obio/Akpor Local Government Area vowed to deny Wike a second term as chairman of the council over alleged disrespect for elders, arrogance and poor performance.
He said: “Senator Magnus Abe said he does not believe in prophesies, but a prophet came and told me not to make Nyesom Wike a minister, because he would betray me. The name of the prophet is Apostle Suleiman. I told the prophet to pray against it.
“When I confronted Nyesom Wike in the presence of Chima Chinye, he swore with his children that he would not betray me. Any man that swears with the lives of his children is a wicked man. He does not appreciate those children at all.”
The governor said: “I am a prophet on my own. I prophesy to people. I told you before that I fasted for 10 months and I saw a lot of things, beyond what the prophet told me.
“I saw all the things that came to pass in my governorship. In fact, the prophet told me then that I would be governor and after that, these were things that would happen; and I told him that they were already revealed to me.”
Wike has repeatedly denied betraying the governor, saying he was one of the very few that stood by him when the legal battle to claim his governorship mandate raged.
Abe was on January 12 shot by policemen during the inauguration of the pro-Amaechi’s Save Rivers Movement (SRM), Obio/Akpor LG chapter and had to be flown to London for further medical treatment.
He returned to Nigeria a week ago.
Abe, at the thanksgiving, displayed the doctor’s report from the Princess Grace Hospital, London confirming that he was shot.
The State Police Command under the immediate past commissioner, Mr. Joseph Mbu had denied that his men shot the senator.
The senator said: “Anybody who says I do not have any cause to thank God, is an idiot. I just want all of you to join me to thank God for saving my life. People were here, busy organising demonstrations, to show that nothing happened to me. I do not begrudge them, because we live in a society where human lives are not valued.
“If it is where human lives are valued, nobody would do that, when someone has gone through the pains I went through. When I got to a society where they value human lives (United Kingdom), their reaction was quite different from the reactions from my home country. That is the difference between Nigeria and places that value human lives.”
The Bishop, Diocese of Ogoni (Anglican Communion),the Rt. Rev. Solomon Gberegbara, in his sermon, thanked God for saving Abe’s life and prayed for His continuous protection to the family of the ex-Rivers SSG. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Gov Amaechi is nowadays talks like somebody that has mental problem. His utterances are becoming more demeaning and out of point. He should take care of his health first before politics
