The Special Assistant on Public Communication to Atiku Abubakar, the 2023 Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Phrank Shaibu, has tackled the former governor of River State, Nyesom Wike over a testimony he shared in Church that he was poisoned at PDP’s secretariat and his liver and kidney shut down for months.
Recall that during a Thanksgiving service on Sunday, Wike said his liver and kidney failed after he was poisoned at PDP’s Secretariat in the 2018 election campaign but for the intervention of God, he recovered.
However, Shaibu reacting to this in a statement on Monday, advised Wike to reduce his consumption of alcohol which is dangerous to his health, claiming that he likely had alcohol poisoning and not food poisoning.
Shaibu further said Wike had always been open about his love for alcohol, especially whiskey, which he has even admitted to drinking in the early hours of the day.
He said, “Governor Wike has always been open about his intense and indubitable love for whiskey. He even said back in March that he was sipping a 40-year-old whiskey with his friends while watching Atiku and others protesting on TV at 11 am.
“Governor Wike has also been seen drinking and dancing in videos, including one he did with former Governor Rochas Okorocha. If Wike was indeed poisoned and his organs failed, he ought to be a teetotaller by now and reduce his drinking.
“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,” he said.
“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?”
