The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has admitted that he made a mistake supporting Siminalayi Fubara to succeed him as the governor of Rivers State.
Wike begged God and his political family in Rivers State to forgive him for the ‘mistake’.
Promising to correct the mistake at the appropriate time, the minister vowed to keep making his detractors angry so they would continue to make mistakes.
Wike spoke yesterday at a civic reception for Chief George Thompson Sekibo at Ogu-Bolo in celebration of his 36 years in public service.
According to Wike: “I want to say this clearly: in life, we make mistakes.
“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 human. I am bound to make mistakes. So forgive me for making a wrong judgment. So nobody should kill.”
Wike also urged his supporters in the state assembly not to succumb to intimidation, saying: “Don’t be afraid. Nobody will remove you as lawmakers.
“Most of you don’t understand. This is our work. Our business is to make them to fear. That is what I am doing.
“We will make them to be angry every day and they will continue to make mistakes.”
