The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, said he was all out to provoke Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State into making mistakes.
Wike made the comment on Saturday in Ogu-Bolo LGA of Rivers at an event to honour George Sekibo, a former senator who has spent 36 years in public service.
Addressing Anorld Davids, a lawmaker representing Ogu-Bolo constituency in the assembly, Wike said: “Let me say this clearly, Arnold, don’t be frightened that anybody would remove you as an assembly member.
“Nobody will remove you as an assembly member. Most of you don’t understand. This is our work. What l am doing is to make them fear, to make them angry.
“I have no other job than to make them angry everyday, to make them make mistakes everyday. And they will be in trouble everyday. So, don’t worry about yourselves.
“If they like, they can go to anybody by 2am, 4am to get an injunction. The law will take its course. We are not afraid. We followed due process. We must follow due process.
“We are not going to harm anybody. We are not going to give money to anybody to buy arms and kill anybody. We won’t do that.”
Despite signing a peace pact with his predecessor on the instance of President Bola Tinubu, Wike went on to describe Governor Fubara as a mistake.
“I have made a mistake. I own up. And I ask God to forgive me. I have said all of you forgive me. But, we will correct it at the appropriate time,” he said.
“I am a human being. I am bound to make a mistake. My judgment can be wrong. So, forgive me for making a wrong judgment. That is life.”
