Wike’s Endless Search For Prayers
THERE is no doubt that the Rivers
State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has portrayed himself in recent times as a
governor that believes so much in prayers as there is hardly any Sunday
that the Ikwerre-born politician is not seen among congregations of
different Christian denominations.
Ordinarily, clerics would not have
noticed Wike as a man that has a penchant for going to church to pray,
but because he occupies a position of authority, he is always the
cynosure of all eyes any time he is in church.
Before the heat of the general election
in March and April 2015, the governor’s level of appearances in churches
was not as high as it is now.
Within
the past one month, he has been to many churches seeking and getting
prayers for himself and the success of his administration.
Just last week, Wike was at the Royal
House of Grace International Church where another guest of the church
and a renowned cleric, Dr. Uma Ukpai, prayed for him and described him
as an asset to the state.
The General Overseer of the Royal House of Grace, Apostle Zilly Aggrey, also prayed for the governor.
A week before his visit to Apostle
Aggrey’s church, Wike had been to The Lord’s Chosen Church, Pastor
Lazarus Mouka where he also got a large dose of prayers from the general
overseer of the church. It was at the Lord’s Chosen Church that he
ordered that a major road leading to the church be reconstructed based
on his pledge during his previous visit before the general election.
The ‘praying governor’ has also received
clerics from the Methodist Church and Archibishop Ignatius Kattey of
the Anglican Church at the Government House in Port Harcourt and none of
them left without praying for him and the success of his
administration.
There is no doubt that this coming Sunday, Wike is likely to be found on his knees in a church praying or being prayed for.
With such an outpouring of prayers for
Wike, his supporters hope that the ongoing election petition tribunal
will rule in his favour.
