Governor Fubara Acknowledges Wike’s Support But Warns Against Excessive Reverence

Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara, has acknowledged the significant contributions of his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, to his electoral victory.

However, during a meeting with a delegation from Bayelsa State on Monday, Fubara emphasized that while Wike’s support was substantial, it did not warrant excessive reverence.

The delegation, led by former Bayelsa Governor Henry Seriake Dickson, visited Government House in Port Harcourt to pay a courtesy call.

Governor Fubara noted that God uses humans as helpers, and there is nothing wrong with helping another person, but that does not mean the helper should take the place of God.

He further acknowledged the roles of the state leaders, especially the immediate past governor of Rivers State, in his political career and emergence as governor, but that is not enough to worship him.

He said, “God can do anything He wants to do when He wants to do it. It is only for us to realise that. God will not come down from Heaven but will pass through one man or woman to achieve His purpose.

“So, for that reason, when we act, we act as humans; human vessels that God has used, and not seeing yourself as God.

“I want to say this clearly that we appreciate the role our leaders, most especially the immediate past governor, played. But that is not enough for me to worship a human being. I can’t do that.”
