The Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike, has stated that God has vindicated him before his political enemies.

 

The governor made this statement, yesterday, at the Sunday Service of the Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Mission Church in Port Harcourt.

 

The governor recalled the prayer he made before God when his political opponents called him a member of a secret society.

 

His words: “if you recall I did say, that if I belong to a secret society, I should not win the governorship elections of Rivers state. By the special grace of God, the pastor prayed for me before the congregation, he prayed for me in private, and he has been praying with me up till now. To the glory of God, the elections came and God Almighty triumphed”.

 

Governor Wike, who further recalled how the church supported him during his turbulent time, said he would redeem his campaign promise to carry out renovations in and around the church headquarters premises in Port Harcourt.

 

He said: “if you recollect, I said that if I win, I would tar the road leading to the church compound and interlock its premises”.

 

The governor maintained that this would be part of his 100 days in office programme.

 

The Rivers State Governor said that his administration was the first in history of Rivers State to achieve many road construction progresses despite the heavy rains. He attributed these achievements to the power and grace of God.

There was drama on Wednesday at the Delta State National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal when a witness presumed to be dead showed up in court.

Christopher Anirah was subpoenaed by the tribunal to give evidence an election petition matter between Hon. Gibson Ighofose Akporehe of the All Progressive Congress (APC) and Hon. Evelyn Omavowan Oboro of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

Counsel to the APC candidate, Mr. Charles Umweni, had told the tribunal that the witness it intends to call, (Anirah) cannot come to the tribunal to testify because he was dead.

He told the tribunal that Anirah died of cardiac attack and cannot be subpoenaed to give evidence in
the ongoing case.

But at the resumed hearing of the matter, a middle aged man who claimed to be Anirah stormed the tribunal and stepped into the witness box to give evidence when the chairman of the three-man panel, Justice Adebukole Banjoko called out the name.

Anirah’s appearance caused a stir in the audience, prompting Justice Banjoko to call for calm.

Akporehe of APC is challenging the election victory of Oboro in the National Assembly election held in the state.

Joined in the suit are – the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Resident Electoral Commission (REC), PDP and eight others.

Anirah is Oboro’s star witness in the matter.

Anirah , during a cross- examination, by respondents counsel , Mr. Onome Egbon, told the tribunal that he was the rightful candidate of APC for the Okpe, Sapele and Uvwie Federal Constituency in Delta State in the 2015 National Assembly election until his name was ‘fraudulently substituted” with that of Akporehe on account that he (Anirah) was dead.

He told the tribunal that Akporehe allegedly forged a death certificate from a General Hospital that he (Anirah) died of cardiac failure and hypertension, with which he deceived INEC to remove his name from the list of contestants for the election.

He also told the tribunal that somebody who posed as his family member was made to testify before INEC that the death rumour was true.

Mrs. Blessing Emeka Eze, 25 years old who has been going from one church to another claiming that her 8-year-old daughter was kidnapped and released after 11 days in captivity has been arrested.
The Owode, Ogun State-born domestic servant was caught by members of Four Square Gospel Church, Obawole, Iju station, a suburb of Lagos State, southwest Nigeria, on Sunday, 7 June, 2015 where she had gone to give false testimony that her 8-year old daughter who was kidnapped at Ogba area of Lagos State was found at Mile 2 after 11 days. She also told the congregation that precious told her that she was fed with raw food and raw meat which made the Pastor of the church, Rev. A.S. Adekunle to order that the
girl be taken to a medical centre on Old Akute Road for treatment.
On getting to the hospital, the 8-year-old girl who was wearing pampers was observed by the doctor on duty and the doctor said nothing was wrong with the girl.
But the mother insisted that something was wrong with her.
At a point, the doctor prescribed that she has to be on observation in addition to giving her drip to flush out any disease she might have contracted.
Again, her mother objected and demanded that the girl be given only injection.
While the argument was on, two men came in and identified the woman and the same daughter as the person who gave a similar testimony the previous Sunday at Christ Apostolic Church in the same Obawole and the church donated N5,000 for her to take care of the child.
After she was threatened with arrest,  she opened up and said the girl was not kidnapped as she alleged, adding that she was only using the girl to make ends meet.
She was subsequently handed over to the police at Iju Police Station, Red House, Iju Ishaga, Lagos State for further investigation.
