In what witnesses have described as a dramatic and faith-filled moment, a pregnant woman reportedly delivered her baby without surgery after invoking the name of former Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, during a difficult labor experience.
The incident, which occurred at a medical facility in Rivers State, attracted attention among patients, hospital staff, and community members who were present at the time. According to eyewitness accounts, the woman was initially in critical condition, with signs pointing toward a possible caesarean section due to complications observed during labor. Medical professionals at the scene had begun preparations for a surgical procedure when the unexpected occurred.
Sources within the hospital revealed that the woman, upon hearing that former Governor Wike was scheduled to visit the area for an official function, shouted aloud three times: “God of Nyesom Wike, let me deliver safely!” To the amazement of those present, her condition changed shortly after, and she gave birth naturally without any surgical intervention.
A statement reportedly made by one of the attending nurses captured the astonishment shared by many: “Last night, a woman in labor could not deliver, and the hospital had already prepared a theater for her operation. But when she heard that you’re coming today, she shouted, ‘God of Nyesom Wike, let me deliver safely’ three times, and then she delivered.”
Though the event has not been formally confirmed by hospital authorities, the story has begun to trend across social media platforms in Rivers State, sparking discussions about faith, politics, and the perceived divine influence of prominent public figures.
Nyesom Wike, who served as Governor of Rivers State from 2015 to 2023 and currently serves as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has long maintained a strong following in his home state, where many view his tenure as impactful in terms of infrastructural development and political influence. His surprise visit to the area on the same day has further fueled public interest in the incident.
While reactions remain mixed—with some attributing the outcome to faith and coincidence, and others expressing skepticism—the story continues to circulate widely among residents and local media observers, painting a vivid picture of how belief and circumstance can sometimes intertwine in extraordinary ways.
