Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and former Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, has issued a prediction bordering on a curse to political leaders who supports betrayers will eventually suffer betrayal themselves.
Wike made the uncanny remarks on February 6 during a public function in Rivers State, where he is currently locked in a political battle with his successor and former ally, Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
Addressing the crowd, Wike said: “Whether you are a Senator, House of Reps member, a Minister or Governor, and you support betrayers, people will continue to betray you in life. You see people who betray and support them, betrayal is your portion! Betrayal is your portion! And that day you will not have mouth to say anything and there you will collapse and there you will go and they will announce such person has died because that is the seed you have planted. Whatever you plant, you reap.”
He warned governors seeking to install successors that betrayal would follow them if they supported disloyalty.
“Every governor who is doing his second term and has ambition to put a successor and is supporting betrayals, you will never survive it. Betrayal will follow you. From the day your successor comes in. My own took so many months, your own will start immediately the person has been inaugurated. That is what the gods of the land have told me to tell all of you,” Wike declared.
Wike’s outburst come at a time of lingering power struggle between him and his erstwhile political god son – Gov. Fubara.
His fallout with Governor Fubara has dominated headlines, dominated much of Fubara’s first term in office, with both camps trading accusations over control of the state’s political structure.
The minister did not clarify the kind of betrayal he wished on those supporting Fubara, the nature of betrayal he supposedly suffered in the hands of his beneficiary, and why even in free democracy, any governor will even hope to install a successor, let alone entertain the fear of betrayal.
