The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has admitted he made a mistake in anointing Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara as his successor.
Wike made the admittance recently at a civic reception organized for Chief George Thompson Sekibo, who celebrated his 36 years in public service.
The former governor during the event, begged God and his loyalists to forgive him for the error and promised to correct the mistake at the appropriate time.

Speaking at the event, Wike said: “I want to say this clearly: in life, we make mistakes.
“I have made a mistake. I own it up and I say God forgive me. I have said all of you forgive me. But we will correct it at the appropriate time.
“I am human. I am bound to make mistakes. So forgive me for making a wrong judgment. So nobody should kill.”
The FCT minister further vowed to continue to make his detractors angry so they would continue to make mistakes.
He went on to urge his supporters in the state assembly not to succumb to intimidation, saying: “Don’t be afraid. Nobody will remove you as lawmakers.
“Most of you don’t understand. This is our work. Our business is to make them to fear. That is what I am doing.
“We will make them to be angry every day and they will continue to make mistakes.”
