2023: Wike shades ‘desperate’ politicians turning church to campaign ground

The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, on Sunday criticised politicians seeking the blessing of religious leaders for their 2023 aspirations.

Wike, who spoke at the Rivers Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) dedication service for the 2023 election campaigns held at St. Paul’s Cathedral in Diobu, Port Harcourt, urged churches not to succumb to tricks of desperate politicians who desire power at all cost in the 2023 general elections.

He said: “All of us should participate in the politics of Nigeria but the church must not be used as if we are fighting a religious war.
