Alleged Food Poisoning: Check Your Excessive Alcohol Intake – Atiku’s Aide Tells Wike

Following disclosure by the former governor of Rivers State, Mr. Nyesom Wike that his liver and kidney failed as a result of poisoning, the Special Assistant on Public Communication to former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, Mr. Phrank Shaibu has said that given the rate of Wike’s drinking habit, it was most likely that he had alcohol poisoning and not food.

This was as he commended Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State for revealing to the world that Wike is as erratic as a naked wire, adding however that it was funny that despite the fact that Makinde knew that Wike was cantankerous and lethal like a naked wire, he still decided to support him to be president of a country like Nigeria.

Shaibu noted that if Wike was indeed poisoned and his organs failed, he ought to be a teetotaller by now and reduce his drinking thus, advised Wike to reduce his excessive consumption of alcohol and stop looking for undue sympathy.

Wike had at a Thanksgiving service on Sunday, said his organs failed after suspected poisoning in 2018 at the Peoples Democratic Party National Secretariat.

Reacting to the claim by the former governor of Rivers State, Shaibu said that it was on record that Wike had always been open about his love for alcohol, especially whiskey, which he even admitted to drinking in the early hours of the day.

Shaibu particularly said noted that Wike has always been open about his intense and indubitable love for whiskey, adding that March 2023, the former governor admitted that he was sipping a 40-year-old whiskey with his friends while watching Atiku and others protesting on TV at 11:00am.

He also said that Wike has been seen drinking and dancing in videos including one he did with former Governor Rochas Okorocha.

Shaibu further said; “I am not a medical doctor but, it is general knowledge that excessive alcohol consumption leads to high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, liver disease, digestive problems; and cancer of the breast, mouth, throat, oesophagus, voice box, liver, colon, and rectum.

“Other ailments associated with excessive drinking include, weakening of the immune system, increasing the chances of getting sick; learning and memory problems, including dementia and poor sexual performance.

“Wike should look inwards. Let us assume that he was poisoned by food. Was his hoarse and husky voice also caused by food poisoning?

“Wike should go for confession and not thanksgiving, given his ignoble role in the election in Rivers State, which was fraught with irregularities as evidenced by the results on INEC’s viewing portal.

“Governor Wike ought to be doing confessions rather than thanksgiving. Psalm 51:17 says God does not despise a broken spirit and a contrite heart. Wike has not shown any remorse for the many electoral malpractices he has committed.

“Under Wike’s reign, Rivers State which was famously known as the treasure base of the nation, became Rivers of blood. That is the legacy of Wike. His thanksgiving cannot be acceptable to God unless there is first repentance,” he enthused.
