Phrank Shaibu, the Special Assistant on Public Communication to Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate for 2023, has advised former Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike to reduce his alcohol consumption following the revelation that his liver and kidneys failed due to “poisoning.”
Wike stated during a Thanksgiving gathering on Sunday that his liver and kidneys failed after he was poisoned at the PDP Secretariat in 2018.
Shaibu, on the other hand, stated that Wike has always been upfront about his love of booze, particularly whiskey, which he has admitted to drinking in the early hours of the morning.
He stated that given Wike’s drinking habits; he was most likely suffering from alcohol poisoning rather than food sickness.
“Governor Wike has always been open about his intense and indubitable love for whiskey. He even said back in March that he was sipping a 40-year-old whiskey with his friends while watching Atiku and others protesting on TV at 11 am.
“Governor Wike has also been seen drinking and dancing in videos, including one he did with former Governor Rochas Okorocha. If Wike was indeed poisoned and his organs failed, he ought to be a teetotaller by now and reduce his drinking.
“I am not a medical doctor, but it is general knowledge that excessive alcohol consumption leads to high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, liver disease, digestive problems; and cancer of the breast, mouth, throat, oesophagus, voice box, liver, colon, and rectum,” he said.
“Other ailments associated with excessive drinking include: weakening of the immune system, increasing the chances of getting sick; learning and memory problems, including dementia and poor sexual performance. Wike should look inwards. Let us assume that he was poisoned by food. Was his hoarse and husky voice also caused by food poisoning?”
