I’m not God, don’t worship me – Minister Wike

Minister Wike recently found himself embroiled in a political and personal controversy involving his successor, Governor Siminalayi Fubara. The situation escalated when Fubara made a statement that seemed to imply he would not worship Wike, despite the latter’s support in helping him become governor. In response to this, Wike clarified that he never asked anyone to worship him, a statement that has since gained significant attention on social media platforms.

This incident seems to be part of a larger political feud between the two leaders, as Wike has publicly expressed regret for supporting Fubara’s governorship, hinting at a rift between their camps. The controversy has sparked discussions on social media, with various individuals and groups commenting on the dynamics of power, gratitude, and the relationship between political leaders and their predecessors.

Wike’s clarification that he never asked anyone to worship him is a direct response to Fubara’s statement and serves as an attempt to mitigate the impact of the rift on his public image. The situation underscores the complexities of politics, where personal relationships and power dynamics can greatly influence the course of governance.

The controversy has also brought to light the broader issue of the role of gratitude and respect in politics. It raises questions about the expectations and responsibilities of political leaders towards their predecessors and the public at large. As the situation continues to unfold, it will be interesting to see how Wike and Fubara navigate these challenges and what impact their actions will have on the political landscape of their region.
