'People would rise against Wike': Cleric

The cleric said some political figures will "rise against" Wike, the immediate past governor of Rivers state.

He asked the minister to "pray" concerning the 'divine message' he (Elijah) received.

Prophet Elijah, who prides himself as 'the major prophet of God', said:

“I am seeing Rivers state losing the slot in the federal. But the issue now is, who are they losing it to? By the slot in the federal, I’m talking about the ministerial appointment - minister of the federal capital territory. You know it belongs to Rivers state, Nyesom Wike.
“He should pray because I’m seeing people rise against him who would make him lose being the minister right there in Abuja.
“This is something that has been drafted, only waiting to unfetter. I am revealing this so that something can be done to avert this. A strong enmity is about to rise.”

Wike under fire

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that the Ijaw National Congress (INC) cautioned Wike for insinuating he owns a “political structure” in Rivers state.

INC stated that political structures should not and cannot be anyone’s personal property, adding that political architecture is transient — just like power.
