He stated thus:

“I know the President, for him governance is business. For him, whatever that is going to make Nigeria great is what he stands for and so we are here as his foot soldiers to complement his efforts to see that the Renewed Hope agenda is fulfilled.”

In another development, Prophet David Kingleo Elijah, the spiritual leader of the Glorious Mount of Possibility Church, predicted the removal of Nyesom Wike as the minister of the Federal Capital Territory.

Prophet Elijah said this on Tuesday, November 7, while giving a prophecy via Possibility TV.

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

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

Ijaws caution Wike

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that the Ijaw National Congress (INC) cautioned Wike for insinuating he owned 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.
