Rivers Crisis: Our Business Is to Make Them to Fear, That’s What I’m Doing -Wike to Lawmakers
The immediate past Governor of Rivers State and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has admitted that he made a mistake in his choice of a successor in Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State.
The former governor, therefore, asked God and his political family in Rivers State to forgive him for the mistake, promising that he will correct it at the appropriate time.
Meanwhile, he vowed to keep making his detractors angry so they would keep making mistakes, adding that his business is to make the incumbent administration afraid.
The Minister spoke yesterday at a civic reception to honour Chief George Thompson Sekibo at Ogu-Bolo for his 36 years in public service.
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.
He sought forgiveness for his purported mistake.
Addressing the faction of the Rivers State House of Assembly loyal to him, the former governor urged them not to succumb to intimidation, assuring them that no one will unseat them as lawmakers.
He said: “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
