I Pray You Keep Making More Mistakes, Gov Fubara Replies Minister Wike

In a dramatic turn of events, Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has responded to the recent public apology issued by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike. In his apology, Wike expressed regret for his decision to support Fubara as his successor, acknowledging that it might have been a mistake. However, instead of taking offense, Governor Fubara has humorously urged Wike to continue making mistakes.

During a public event, Governor Fubara, addressing the controversy surrounding his appointment and the subsequent tensions in the state, said, “I pray you keep making more mistakes, Minister Wike. After all, it was one of those ‘mistakes’ that brought me here.” This unexpected response not only showcased Fubara’s wit but also highlighted his resilience in the face of political turmoil.

Fubara’s remarks come at a time when the political landscape of Rivers State is fraught with tension, following Wike’s admission of regret in choosing Fubara as his successor. The situation has seen a significant escalation, with a move to impeach Governor Fubara and a counter-move by President Bola Tinubu to mediate the crisis. Despite the political turmoil, Fubara’s response indicates a willingness to rise above the fray and address the situation with humor and resilience.

This exchange between the two political figures has captured public attention, with many citizens of Rivers State expressing varied reactions. While some see Fubara’s response as a clever way to diffuse tension and assert his legitimacy, others view it as a sign of a deepening political divide in the state. Regardless, it has undoubtedly added a new layer of intrigue to the ongoing political saga in Rivers State.
