How I Was Poisoned At PDP Secretariat- Wike

The immediate past governor of Rivers state, Nyesome Wike has revealed that he was nearly killed by poisoning in 2018.

Speaking on Sunday during a thanksgiving service at the St. Peters Anglican Church in Obio-Akpor LGA of Rivers state, Wike said he escaped death twice during his time as governor of the state.

The former governor said he was hurriedly flown out of the country for medical treatment.

“I never knew that I had been poisoned in our party secretariat. My intestinal were all black. The doctors did all they could do,” Wike said.

“God was in charge; everybody who knew how we came to power in 2015, knew it was turbulent. But God saw us through. When you are in office, many people think things are going well with you. Nobody wants to find out the problems you are facing as a human.

“In December 2018, it was a day my former chief of staff was going to have thanksgiving. I was to attend that thanksgiving. From that Sunday, I never came down from my room. It was bad. But those who attended the January 1st state banquet of 2019 will know that I never spoke that day.

“I just sat down there and told the deputy governor to speak on my behalf. I thought it was over.”
