Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory
(FCT), says anyone who gets into politics should be prepared for betrayal.
Speaking on Sunday at a banquet he hosted in Port Harcourt,
capital city of Rivers state, on Sunday, Wike said politics and betrayal “are
from the same parents”.
The immediate-past governor of Rivers said anyone who cries
to him that they have been betrayed, after they are gone, he settles down to a
good whiskey.
“You must have shock absorbers, that’s the only way you can
survive,” he said.
“That’s why some of
you who are always crying… if you want to survive in life, you must have a
shock absorber
“President Tinubu told me, when we met, he said ‘look,
politics and betrayal are the same mother and father’.
“If you don’t want to be betrayed, don’t enter into
politics. Don’t bother that anybody betrayed you.
“If you are in
politics, politics and betrayal are the same mother and father.
“Don’t bother, prepare yourself that it will happen. So when
I see some of you [mimics crying] ‘I can’t believe this happened’. Immediately
you go, I find one good whiskey and drink… this one is not prepared. I am fully
prepared.
“That is what President Tinubu taught me.”
The minister’s comments came weeks after he and Siminalayi
Fubara, governor of Rivers, agreed to resolve their rift.
Both men were at loggerheads over issues concerning the
state.
However, they seemingly agreed to end the feud after Tinubu
intervened.
