Nyesom Wike, Rivers State Governor, has asked for forgiveness of any wrong doings that he may have been involved in during the just concluded general elections in the state.
The governor who went for a family thanksgiving at the Salvation Ministry Headquarters in GRA aixs of the State, on Palm Sunday, April 14, 2019, to appreciate God for his victory, declared that nobody won the election but the people of the state.
His words: “Nobody has won and nobody has lost the elections. But Rivers State has won.
“I forgive anyone that has wronged me and I also ask for forgiveness from those that I have wronged.
“We have come here to give God thanks because he is so faithful to us. We have come to thank God for the fight he fought on our behalf.
“It is only God who can fight for us. We have no power of our own to fight.”
The presiding Pastor of Salvation Ministry, Pastor David Ibiyeomie, speaking during the service asked God to receive Wike’s thanksgiving and bless him and his family.
You will recall that the 2019 general elections in Rivers was marred by violence and irregularities, which led to its suspension by the Independent National Electoral Election (INEC).
The electoral process commenced on April 2, 2019, 21 days after the suspension of the March 9 governorship election. At the end of the collation process, Wike was declared winner of the controversial governorship election.
