FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike says he made a mistake presenting Gov. Sim Fubara as PDP flagbearer in last year’s election in the state.
Wike, disclosed this at a civic reception for Chief George Thompson Sekibo at Ogu-Bolo in celebration of his 36 years in public service on Saturday.
The former governor of the state pleaded with his supporters to forgive him for making a mistake, noting that it will be corrected at the appropriate time.
He said,“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.”
“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.”
“So don’t worry yourselves. We won’t give money to anybody to go and buy arms to kill anybody. I have maintained peace and I want to beg all of you to continue to maintain peace.
“Nobody will tell me that I can’t live in my house or not go to my house. But all of you should maintain the peace. Follow law and due process. We will get to the end.
“If they like, they can go to anybody by 2am or 4am to get injunction. The law will take its course. We must follow due process”,
“God uses people to help others. So when you have been helped, you appreciate them. God will know you have appreciated 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. When I came to ask you to support me, you supported me. Did I worship you? Did I ask you to worship me?
“If you had not supported me, I would not have been where I am. Did you tell me to worship you? So where does the issue of worship come from?”
