Woman in difficult labour gave birth after screaming “Wike” three times— Rivers lawmaker alleges

• According to him the couple wanted to name the boy Wike but he stopped them saying he needed confirmation from his excellency

Lawmaker, Ehie Ogerenye Edison has revealed how a woman in difficult labor gave birth after screaming the name of Governor Wike three times.

Rivers Deputy Speaker, made this disclosure while speaking on Wednesday, January 11, when Wike visited his constituency Ahoada.

Recounting the incident, Ehie Edison said;

“As of yesterday night, there was a lady in labor. The lady tried but she couldn’t put to bed. They had already prepared the theatre for her to be operated on this morning.

But because the nurses knew that you are coming to Ahodia today, they were discussing that ‘our executive governor is coming to Ahodia today; this man likes Ahoada people’.

At the hearing of your name, the woman shouted ‘the God of Nyesom Wike, let me deliver safely’. Three times, the woman mentioned your name; she delivered a bouncing baby boy.

Your excellency, that was your name. They came this morning, saying they want to name the boy in your name. I said ‘no, don’t do that until I hear confirmation from his excellency’.”
