The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, says he made a mistake when he chose to support Sim Fubara to succeed him as the governor of Rivers State.
Channels TV said this when he
spoke at a function in Ogu/Bolo Local Government Area of Rivers State on
Saturday, May 11. The governor at the function apologized to the people of the
state for his “mistake”. He said he is a human who is bound to make mistakes,
assuring the people, however, that the mistake would be corrected at the
appropriate time.
“I want to say this clearly, in
life when you have made a mistake, you say I have made a mistake, there is
nothing you can do about it. I have made a mistake, I own it up and I say God
forgive me and I will say all of you forgive me, but I will correct it at the
appropriate time.
I am a human being, I am bound
to make mistake, my judgment can be wrong, so forgive me for making a wrong judgment.
That is life, so nobody should kill himself,” Wike said
Some days ago, Governor Fubara
was quoted as saying that he appreciates Wike for supporting him to become the
governor of Rivers State, but would not worship him.
In what seems to be a direct
response to that statement by Fubara, Wike in his speech said that there was no
time he told anyone to worship him as he is not God.
However, the Minister said that
politicians ought to be grateful to those who supported them to attain office rather
than showing ingratitude.
“I respect people who
appreciate what God has done for them, who appreciates what God has used people
to do for them. God does not come down, God uses people to help people. So,
when you are helped you appreciate them and then God will know that you have
also appreciated him. I have never told anybody to worship me, nobody can
worship man. All of us believe that we only have one God and it is only that
God we worship and we will continue to worship that God. But as politicians,
you appreciate people who have helped you” he said
