SHOCKING! Wike Begs For Forgiveness, Reveals What He’ll Do Soon Over Rivers State Crisis
Former Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has shared some fresh details about the political crisis rocking the state.
Wike, who is the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), claimed that he made a mistake, further begging God and the people of the State for forgiveness. Speaking on Saturday at the grand civic reception held at Ogu-Bolo in honour of Chief George Thompson Sekibo’s 20 years of public service, Wike begged for God’s forgiveness as well as the people’s forgiveness for making an error in judgment. Wike further vowed to correct his mistake at the right time.
Wike and Governor Siminalayi Fubara Rivers State have been engaging in a face-off that has polarised the state House of Assernbly into two camps.
The minister backed Fubara to succeed him as the governor of the oil-rich state.
He was, however, not specific if his choice of Fubara as his successor was the mistake he said he made. But he assured the people that he would correct the mistake at the appropriate time.
Wike said: “I want to say this clearly, in life we have made a mistake, I have made a mistake. I own it up and I say God forgive me. I have said all of you forgive me. But we will correct it at the appropriate time. I am a human, I am bound to make a mistake. So forgive me for making a wrong judgement. So nobody should kill.” Speaking further, Wike called out the camp of Governor Fubara, saying no injunctions obtained at 2 am or 4 am would stop the law and due process from taking its course in the state. ‘If they like they can go to anybody by 2am or 4am to get injunction. The law will take its course.
Wike also said he has never demanded that anybody worship him. ‘Nobody can worship man. All of us believe that it is only God we will worship. As politicians, we appreciate people who have helped us,” he said. Wike further warned his supporters and lawmakers not to be intimidated, vowing to maintain peace in the state. “Don’t be afraid. Nobody will remove you as a lawmaker. Most of you don’t understand. This is our work. Our business is to make them fear. That is what I am doing. We will make them to be angry every day, and they will continue to make mistakes.
Wike also dismissed allegations of
abandoning his supporters, reaffirming his commitment to the people of Ogu and Rivers State. “Ogu people, I will never abandon you. There are some chiefs I wanted to recognise as traditional rulers. Their people said no. But I dared it, and I did it. Nobody bothered to recognise the traditional rulers from 1999 down to 2014. It was me that came and recognised most of them.” Fubara recently said that while he appreciated the roles played by Wike in his ascension to office of the Governor, that was not enough for him to worship a human being.
Fubara maintained that there was nothing wrong with one helping
another person, but that does not
mean the helper should take the place
of God.
Fubara had said, “God can do anything.
He wants to do when He wants to do
it. It is only for us to realise that. God
will not come down from Heaven but
will pass through one man or woman
to achieve His purpose.
‘So, for that reason, when we act, we
act as humans, human vessels that God has used, and not seeing yourself as God “I want to say this clearly that we appreciate the role our leaders, most
especially the immediate past governor, played. But that is not enough for me to worship a human being. I can’t do that.”
