Governor Amaechi's secret on how he won the Governorship case at the Supreme Court

While attending a Christmas Day service at Saint Vincent De Paul Catholic Church in Port Harcourt, Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi revealed his ‘secret’ for winning the governorship seat in the state. In his own words:

“As a government led by me, a government installed by Christ, if anybody tells you he installed me, tell him it is a lie. Tell him that I said I prayed for 10 months and I fasted from 6am to 6pm, calling on Christ to come down and Christ came down mightily and installed me as governor.

“That is why you can see that in the face of human effrontery, I have been able to stand face to face with them and I say I have Christ in me.”

Amaechi didn’t slip on the opportunity to take a swipe at the Federal government as he blamed it for the widespread insecurity in the country.Then he went all spiritual:

 “You must rise in that same spirit of having Christ in you and confront those who are confronting you. You must stand up for Christ because the Bible says ‘faith without work is dead.’

“We must not die. We must live and the way to live is to celebrate Christ and the way to celebrate Christ is to confront Satan and Satan is in different forms and shapes. If the police shoot at you, they are satanic. If government denies you your right to live, that government is satanic.”
