Former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus, has revealed that he, alongside God and some political leaders, played a pivotal role in shaping the political journey of the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
Secondus made this statement while accompanying Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State to inaugurate the newly completed 14km Bori internal roads yesterday.
Criticizing Wike’s attitude, Secondus accused him of acting like he “fell from heaven.”
He said: “Those who are shouting in Abuja, how were they made? It was God. Some of us, and the leaders seated here today, made it possible. God first, because we do not want to take God’s glory.
“I can recall during my thanksgiving service, immediately after I was made national chairman, he said it clearly, outside God, it was my humble self and other leaders who made it possible.
“Today, when he speaks, either in Abuja or here, it appears as if he fell from heaven.”
Praising Governor Fubara, Secondus described him as a “humble man of few words” with immense respect for elders.
He elaborated, “I can tell you, the test of a leader is when you find yourself in confusion and frustration, yet come out of it with even greater faith.
“Like Governor Fubara, you will see the real leader of the people. He is not a man who seeks accolades. We have seen him.
“Do not worry. Power comes from God. The same way God gave it to him through us, God has given it to you. From what we are seeing, you will excel. One thing that is important in the 10 Commandments is, ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’
“You are spreading that part of the 10 Commandments across our state. You love everybody. You respect leaders and elders, and all we can do is pray for you.”
