I Appreciate Wike’s Role In My Emergence As Governor But It’s Not Enough To Worship Him – Gov Fubara

“What I want and pray for is for all opposition leaders—Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Rotimi Amaechi, and Rauf Aregbesola—to join the SDP.” - El-Rufai. “What pains me is that the government we supported and had confidence in would do well, because we saw what Tinubu did in Lagos despite his challenges. We all know about his issues in Chicago, but we thought if he could replicate his work in Lagos for Nigeria, let's support him. However, he failed. “I never betrayed Atiku Abubakar because we didn’t meet in politics; we met at work. In work, if I see that he didn’t do well, whoever he is, I will tell him. I told Buhari, and I even took Buhari to court on the new naira issue. When Obasanjo and Atiku were having issues, those of us working with Obasanjo looked at the issues between them and said Obasanjo was more right. It was not about north and south; Obasanjo was right. Atiku and I are now together, and if I betrayed him why are we together now,” Elrufai said.

Gov Sim Fubara of Rivers State has stated that his predecessor, Nyesom Wike played a huge role which led to his win during the elections but it is not enough reason to worship him.

Fubara made the declaration on Monday when he received the Bayelsa State delegation of political and traditional leaders, led by former governor of the state, Henry Seriake Dickson, at Government House in Port Harcourt.

Governor Fubara noted that God uses humans as helpers, and there is nothing wrong with helping another person, but that does not mean the helper should take the place of God.

He further acknowledged the roles of the state leaders, especially the immediate past governor of Rivers State, in his political career and emergence as governor, but that is not enough to worship him.

He said, “God can do anything He wants to do when He wants to do it. It is only for us to realise that. God will not come down from Heaven but will pass through one man or woman to achieve His purpose.

“So, for that reason, when we act, we act as humans; human vessels that God has used, and not seeing yourself as God.

“I want to say this clearly that we appreciate the role our leaders, most especially the immediate past governor, played. But that is not enough for me to worship a human being. I can’t do that.”
