I prayed for 10 months and fasted from 6am to 6pm to become Governor - Rotimi Amaechi

Governor of Rivers State Rotimi Amaechi, in his message at Saint Vincent De Paul Catholic Church in Port Harcourt on Christmas Day, attributed the insecurity in Rivers State to the failure of the police force to do their job. He also affirms he was installed by Christ and that nobody had anything to do with his emergence as governor of the state.

Amaechi said: “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 effontery, I have been able to stand face to face with them and I say I have Christ in me".
