Rivers State Governor, Nyesom
Wike has described himself as the luckiest politician who was assisted by God
to overcome the onslaught of Federal Might during the 2019 elections.
Speaking during the Thanksgiving
Service of Senator Representing Rivers South-East Senatorial District, Senator
Barinada Mpigi, at Saint Cyprian’s Anglican Church, Koroma Town, Tai Local
Government Area, Rivers State on Sunday , Governor Wike said he fought Federal
Might and survived because God is with him.
He said: “I am the luckiest
politician who has always received God’s Blessing. I don’t know how many people
who have fought Federal Might and succeeded.
“God fought for us during the
last elections and we were victorious. That is why I will always support the
Church. I will always continue to give thanks to God for his mercies.”
Wike reiterated that only God has
the power to enthrone his successor in 2023.
“I will not install my successor.
It is God that will determine who will succeed me. Only God has the power to
install my successor.
“However, I will fervently pray
that my party succeeds in 2023. The insistence to plant a successor is mainly
for selfish reasons. Everyone with the right capacity should come forward to
tell Rivers people, why they should vote him/her,” he said.

Mpigi as a dedicated politician who worked hard to achieve results.

confronting the PDP, the future of the country is secured under the leadership
of the PDP.
