God Won’t Give Power To Wicked, Treacherous People, Wike Blasts Critics …Says Projects’ Abandonment Alien To My Administration

Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, has said that he and his allies of the G5 were never playing God to determine who becomes the next president of Nigeria.
Wike stated this in reaction to a statement in the media that indicated that God would determine the next president of Nigeria, not G5 governors.
The Rivers State governor, speaking at the flag-off of Ogbo-Ihugbodo Road in Ahoada East Local Government Area, last Saturday, said, those behind the statement should have known that even if God gives power, He does not give it to the wicked.
“Don’t be treacherous in life because you want power. God will never give power to the wicked. Our hands are clean. We have not done anything wrong.
“All we are saying is: do things in a way that all of us will have sense of belonging, that all of us will believe that we are together.
“That is all we are saying. If saying so is wrong, then let it be to God. But we know it is good that as right takes, let left take also.”
Wike explained that members of the G5 believed in the omnipotence of God, and always aligned their various affairs to such, which was why they keep getting stronger by the day.
The Rivers State governor pointed out that the person who said that it was only God, and not G5 governors, who can decide who would be president, seemed not to understand the background of members of the group.
“We are alive today; we are where we are because of God. Nobody can even breathe air if not for God, not to talk of holding position. So, nobody can tell us that it is only God; we know that it is only God that gives power.
“But our prayer is that: God, don’t allow those who will sell off Nigeria in the next one second to be in power. Our prayer is: God, don’t allow anybody that you (people) will have an agreement with and in the next two minutes, the person will change.
“Our prayer is that almighty God will not allow those who will betray their brothers when they have agreed with their brothers to do something. God, may you never allow such people.”
Wike also noted that the person said that there would be division among the G5, an expectation that had long been frustrated since May/June, 2022.
“It has never worked, and it will never work in Jesus name. By sitting down to say there will be division, I send back that prayer to you.
“I don’t want to discuss them. I have told people; allow the sleeping dog lie. If you don’t allow the sleeping dog lie, you too will not sleep.”
The Rivers State governor also pointed to another person, who said that they would handle members of the G5 when they have decided where to throw their support.
“These are the things that annoy us. Who is this person saying this? I heard them say that PDP is a responsible party; I agree. But when they left PDP in 2014 against 2015; when they left and made PDP to lose our election. Today, we are struggling to take over power from APC. Who are those who made us to lose this power?”
Commenting on the project, Wike the Ogbo-Ihugbodo road was one of the many projects his administration had continued to deliver to restore Ahoada Town and the surrounding communities to what it used to be when it was a divisional headquarters.
The governor emphasised that it was already established that he was creating an unbeatable record as an administration in Nigeria that would continue to deliver democratic dividends until the last day of his tenure.
Wike stated that the jealousy expressed by some detractors was because of the capacity he had continued to demonstrate in governance, combining delivery of projects and attending to issues of governance with none suffering.
He threw a challenge to those who feel jealous to also show capacity and combine projects’ flag-off, inauguration and governance simultaneously, if they can.
Providing the project description, Rivers State Commissioner for Works, Dr. Dakorinima Alabo George-Kelly said the Ogbo-Ihugbodo road was 6.1kilometre-long, with about 4.1kilometre cutting through fresh vegetation.
He stated that the road was 7.3meters wide, had 4kilometre length of drains, on both sides and should be delivered within five months.
He said, “This road comprises 2kilometres in the built up area, and 4.1kilometres fresh road. So, we will have a total of 6.1kilometres. The width is going to be 7.3metres. We are going to have a lot of soil replacement done, average 350 to 600millimetres depth”.
