- Wike asked the people of Rivers State to forgive him for foisting his successor, Siminalayi Fubara on them.
The immediate past Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, says he is fallible thus it’s inevitable for him to make mistakes.
Wike asked the people of Rivers State to forgive him for foisting his successor, Siminalayi Fubara on them.
Recall that during the 2023 general election, Wike anointed Fubara as his preferred candidate for the governorship position in Rivers State.
However, the relationship between the duo has become sour in recent months as the tussle for power between them reaches crescendo.
President Bola Tinubu had stepped in to make peace between the Wike and Fubara but his intervention has not done much to resolve the imbroglio.
However, addressing his followers in Rivers at the weekend, Wike said he made a decision that might be unpalatable.
“I’m not to say I’m perfect or that every decision I’ve taken is right. I’m a human,” he said.
“I may have made decisions that may not be palatable to everybody but in my position I was influenced to accept it.
“And you accepted it and it turned out to be bad, pls forgive me. Forgive me,” the minister said.
