Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, on Sunday, disclosed that he was poisoned at the secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in 2018.<\/p>\n

Wike said the poison affected his liver and kidneys, adding that it almost killed him but for God\u2019s intervention.<\/p>\n

He disclosed this during a special Thanksgiving service organised by his family at the St. Peters Deanery, Rumuepirikom, Obio-Akpor area of the state.<\/p>\n

The former governor said he was flown to Beirut at midnight, where doctors informed him that his liver and kidneys were gone.<\/p>\n

According to wike, after attending to him, the doctors informed him that the organs were working again.<\/p>\n

He said the doctors discharged him after about a week and asked him to return home, noting that he altered his itinerary during the campaign for his second term.<\/p>\n

The former Governor said everybody became a suspect as he decided that he would not enter any party leader\u2019s home during the course of his campaigns.<\/p>\n

Narrating how he almost died of poisoning, Wike said: \u201cGod was in charge, everybody who knew how we came to power in 2015, knew it was turbulent.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn December 2018, it was the day my former Chief of Staff was going to have thanksgiving. I was to attend that thanksgiving. From that Sunday on, I never came down from my room. It was bad.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut those who attended the January 1 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t know I had been poisoned at our party\u2019s secretariat, the doctors, after some treatments, returned and told me my organs had started working again.\u201d<\/p>\n
