The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and former Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has cautioned political office holders against supporting what he described as acts of betrayal, warning that such actions often come with grave personal and political consequences.
Wike made the remarks on Thursday, February 6, while addressing a crowd at a public event in Rivers State, amid his ongoing political dispute with his former protégé and current Governor of the state, Siminalayi Fubara.
According to Wike, politicians who align themselves with betrayers whether they are senators, members of the House of Representatives, ministers, or governors are likely to face betrayal in their own lives. He argued that betrayal operates on the principle of cause and effect, insisting that those who sow it will inevitably reap its consequences.
The former governor further warned second-term governors seeking to influence the emergence of their successors, advising them not to support disloyalty. He claimed that any leader who promotes betrayal in the process of succession would ultimately be undermined by the very individual they helped into office.
Drawing from his personal experience, Wike noted that while his own political fallout took months to unfold, others who repeat the same mistake may face immediate repercussions once their successors are inaugurated.
