Dr. Peter George, a prominent figure within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State, has penned an open letter directed at Nyesom Wike, the former governor of the state and current Federal Capital Territory (FCT) minister, cautioning him against political interference and advising him to focus on his new role.
In the letter, Dr. George emphasized the significance of gracefully relinquishing power and allowing progress to unfold naturally.
Highlighting the transient nature of power, Dr. George reminded Wike that ultimate authority lies with a higher power.
He urged the former governor to recognize that his legacy, whether positive or negative, is intrinsically linked with the fortunes of Rivers State. However, he cautioned that history will impartially judge Wike’s actions during his tenure.
The letter Partly read, “Your successor, His Excellency, Siminalayi Fubara is not so much a drama king. A man of few words and a lover of peace. All he craved was an opportunity to serve and not a platform to fight.
“From a humble background, he knows God has done so much for him, and any further step up the ladder can only be of God’s benevolence.
“Though your tenure as governor has expired, you do not need the vote of anyone to be an indigene of the State, and whenever the governor publicly seeks the support of all to succeed, he’s making a direct appeal to you and others as no one is more indigent than others.
So concentrate on your new assignment and allow Governor Fubara to repair the damages you did to the psyche of our people continuously for eight years.
“No one is in a competition with you, not even Governor Fubara. Please calm down before you become a victim of your own insecurity,” the letter stressed.
