"Wike came, lost in High Court, lost in Supreme Court. APC was in power, and we were doing five nights of glory. It was not a money problem, he knew the judgement was against him,” Ibiyeomie said.

He revealed he assured the politician of his victory. The clergy also recalled how people around Wike doubted he could win his second term in office.

Ibiyeomie revealed he stepped in, making a covenant with God and giving millions in prayer for the former Rivers governor's re-election without informing the politician.

“I told the Lord, for my sake, not because of him. The day they were to change the result and give it to one person called Lawal, something happened, on the spot, the High Commission stepped into INEC. They couldn’t change the result. That’s how he became Governor the second time,” he claimed.
