Wike, told the Church in Nigeria to ‘shine its eyes’, a Nigerian lingo to be alert to current happenings, and not be dragged unnecessarily into political intrigues.

“We have to be careful so that the church is not destroyed,” the governor said.

It is important to note that the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi has been visiting several churches.
