Wike Seeks Forgivenes Over Backing Fubara For Rivers Governor

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, publicly expressed regret for his previous support of Siminalayi Fubara as the governor of Rivers State.

Wike made this revelation during a thanksgiving service organised by the former chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State, Felix Obuah, in Omoku on Sunday, January 14, 2023.

Wike, who had been a vocal supporter of Fubara, admitted to regretting his actions in urging other governorship aspirants, including Obuah, to step down for the current governor.

In a straightforward and remorseful tone, the FCT Minister disclosed his sentiments before the congregation.

“I regret every action I took in ensuring that Siminalayi Fubara became the governor of Rivers State,” Wike confessed.

He further admitted to pleading with Obuah and other PDP aspirants to step aside for Fubara, a move that he now acknowledges was a mistake.

During the thanksgiving event, Wike specifically addressed the people of Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area, asking for their forgiveness for not supporting their son, Obuah, in his gubernatorial ambition.

Despite the former PDP chairman’s support, Wike expressed remorse for denying him the opportunity he desired.

Wike acknowledged Obuah’s generosity and forgiving heart, stating the importance of admitting mistakes in leadership.

Reconciliation isn’t a sign of weakness but a testament to the strength of your friendship and maturity.

Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy

One ❤️❤️❤️
