Veteran singer, actor and activist, Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa, aka Charly Boy, has labelled Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, the “mistake maker’ of the century” after he admitted anointing Rivers State governor, Sim Fubara as his successor was an error.
Recall that Wike recently told the people of Rivers State that he made a mistake and he is ready to correct the error at the appropriate time.
His admittance came at a civic reception organised for Chief George Thompson Sekibo, who celebrated his 36 years in public service.
Speaking at the event, Wike said: “I want to say this clearly, in life we have made a mistake. I have made a mistake. I own it up and I say God forgive me. I have said all of you forgive me. But we will correct it at the appropriate time.”
Responding to the statement on Tuesday via his X handle, Charly Boy, mocked the FCT Minister, saying he will soon claim he made another mistake for supporting President Bola Tinubu in 2023.
He tweeted: “I made a mistake in 2016 by supporting Senator Ali Modu Sheriff as PDP National Chairman. I made another mistake in 2017 by supporting Prince Uche Secondus as PDP National Chairman. I made another mistake for supporting Tambuwal for PDP ticket in 2019. I made yet another mistake in 2021 by supporting Senator Iyorchia Ayu as PDP National Chairman. And, most recently, I made a mistake in 2023 by supporting Sir Sim Fubara as my successor. I know very soon he will make another mistake for supporting Tinubu in 2023. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the mistake maker of the century.”
Wike and the Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, have been embroiled in a supremacy fight that has polarised the state House of Assembly into two camps.
