Without me, Nobody can be anything, Wike boasts

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and former Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has declared that no one can achieve significant progress without his influence, while hinting at a forthcoming development in Rivers State that will surprise many.

Wike made these remarks during a stakeholders’ luncheon held in Port Harcourt on Friday night. He emphasized his commitment to addressing “ingrates” and expressed displeasure over perceived betrayals from individuals he previously supported.

Wike said, “if you follow my political history, it has never been easy; I have been charged for murder, for armed robbery just because of politics. There is nothing I have no passed through in my life. But I know at the end of the day we will overcome.

“Is it not the same person who said, we thank you for making a man who want to create Rivers State as a medical hub in Nigerian not to have converted Rivers State as a personal estate? Based on the documentary you have watched; is there anywhere they said about my family? So where did I want to convert Rivers State to my personal estate.

“When my father is doing something wrong, should I not say papa this is not what you said yesterday, is that to make him cry. I ran election for Local government in 1999, and since then till now I have never lost election. Nobody whom I supported have ever lost election.”

The Minister said, he has no regret of supporting President Bola Tinubu to win election, saying those making noise, told Atiku Abubakar that they will support him to fight Tinubu.

“How can people who came out and said Governor Siminalayi Fubara cannot be governor, he cannot talk before the public, today are now the one saying we are with you. 2007 when you fought Chibuike Amaechi, we chased you out,” Wike said.

“In 2023, you said Atiku is coming, I said where? They collected the money and kicked the man away, that the governor was killing everybody, look at me.

“Whatever you cannot do, say you cannot do it. I am sure if Magnus Abe had made mistake to join them, they would have used him as their spokesperson. Time will come. Everybody be yourself, we are all working together.

“One day it will happen, when the time comes, we will know who is who. We will produce the second phase of the documentary, if they react in the next 24 hours, I will give them another one.”
