According to Ibiyeomie, the former governor contacted him while he was in Israel, expressing fears that a pending judgment at the Supreme Court of Nigeria might not favour him.

The pastor explained that the situation appeared difficult because Wike had already lost earlier rulings at both the High Court and the Court of Appeal.

Despite the circumstances, Ibiyeomie said he encouraged Wike not to panic, assuring him that divine intervention would change the outcome.
