The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has admitted making a mistake in supporting Rivers State governor, Siminalayi Fubara, in 2023.
He, however, assured his supporters that he would correct the mistake at the appropriate time.
Mr Wike stated this while addressing a grand civic reception on Saturday in Ogu-Bolo, Rivers State, in honour of George Sekibo’s 20 years of public service.
“I want to say this clearly, in life we have made a mistake. 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,” he declared.
“I am a human, I am bound to make a mistake. So forgive me for making a wrong judgment. So nobody should kill.”
He also said the law and due process would take its course, irrespective of whatever happened.
“If they like, they can go to anybody by 2 a.m. or 4 a.m. to get an injunction. The law will take its course. We must follow due process,” Mr Wike declared.
He also said he has never demanded that anybody worship him.
“Nobody can worship man. All of us believe that it is only God we will worship. As politicians, we appreciate people who have helped us,” he added.
