In a candid admission during a public address, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, openly acknowledged his misjudgment in endorsing Sim Fubara as his successor for the governorship of Rivers State. Speaking at a gathering in Ogu/Bolo Local Government Area of Rivers State on Saturday, May 11, Wike tendered an apology to the people of the state for what he termed his "mistake." He emphasized his fallibility as a human being, expressing remorse for any errors in his judgment while assuring the public that corrective measures would be taken in due course.
"In life, when you make a mistake, you admit it. There's nothing you can do about it. I have made a mistake, I admit it, and I ask for forgiveness from God and from all of you. However, I will rectify it at the appropriate time. I am only human; I am prone to mistakes. My judgment can falter, and for that, forgive me for any errors. That's life, so nobody should condemn themselves," Wike candidly remarked.
Wike's statement comes in the wake of recent remarks attributed to Governor Fubara, expressing gratitude to Wike for his support but asserting that he would not idolize him. Responding directly to Fubara's comments, Wike clarified that he had never demanded worship from anyone, as he recognizes that he is not divine.
The Minister stressed the importance of gratitude in politics, urging politicians to appreciate those who have supported them in their journey to office. He emphasized the role of individuals as instruments of divine intervention, urging recipients of assistance to express gratitude both to those who have helped them and to the divine force behind such assistance.
"I hold in high regard those who acknowledge the assistance they've received and express gratitude for it. God does not descend; rather, He works through people to aid others. Therefore, when you receive help, it's important to show appreciation. I have never instructed anyone to worship me because no one can be worshipped. As politicians, we acknowledge those who have supported us," Wike affirmed, underscoring the essence of gratitude in political interactions.
