Speaking during the 2020 Diocesan City Wide Mega Crusade of the Diocese of the Niger Delta North, in Port Harcourt on Saturday, Governor Wike said the relative peace in Rivers State was because God had honoured the prayers of the servants of God.

He said: “All through last year, despite the security challenges in the country, Rivers State remained relatively peaceful. The security of Rivers State is not because of the security agencies, but due to God’s enablement.
