A clergyman, Bishop Kingsley Quintin-Osuogim who is Odual Ijaw son from the Orashi extraction in Rivers State has advised former governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike to stop the fight against his successor in office, Sir Siminalayi Fubara.
Speaking in Calabar with
journalists, Bishop Quintin-Osuogim said Wike, who is now Minister of Federal
Capital Territory, cannot win the fight against Fubara, adding that he is
paying the Ijaws who made him governor in bad coin.
He said no one man is a
storehouse of political power, because all powers in heaven and on earth belong
to God alone.
He said, “I implore you to
immediately bury the hatchet and embrace peace, because you can’t win this
fight. Stop bringing yourself to the slaughtering table of ridicule.”
Urging all to live peacefully
to foster understanding and cooperation among all ethnic groups in the State,
he disclosed that majority of the Ijaw people are massively behind Fubara,
their son.
He noted that without the Ijaws
Wike could not have been anywhere near governorship, adding that destiny has
heavily played on Fubara to govern the state.
“Fubara is an Ijaw man. His
ascension to political power is an act of predestination, which no man can
truncate. It is a reward of the refreshing good gesture of the Ijaws towards
you and other highly placed politicians who are not of the Ijaws extraction in
the past.
“The emergence of Governor
Fubara is a reward for the political power that was given to you by the Ijaws
to become Governor in 2015.
Advising Wike to be humble, the
cleric said, “Without the Ijaws you won’t be anywhere near governorship. You
would not have been known anywhere in the state, Nigeria and in the world.”
According to the man of God,
Wike wouldn’t have become as powerful as he claims to be today, without Fubara
and other Ijaws.
