“Peter Odili was not supposed to be governor in 1999. I stopped the man who was destined to be governor of Rivers State in 1999 because he was attending Celestial Church of Christ and walking barefoot.”
According to Pastor Ibiyeomie, his intervention prevented the individual from emerging as governor during the 1999 political transition.

However, Peter Odili eventually became governor of Rivers State and served from 1999 to 2007.
This comes after Ibiyeomie also claimed that during the re-election bid of former Rivers State governor Nyesom Wike, there were plans by political opponents to manipulate the results in favour of another candidate, Biokpomabo Awara, but he intervened.
