Phrank Shaibu, a media aide to former Vice President Atiku
Abubakar, says a thanksgiving service by Nyesom Wike, immediate past governor
of Rivers state, is not acceptable to God until he repents.
On Sunday, a service was held at the St. Peters Anglican
Church in Obio-Akpor LGA of Rivers where Wike thanked God for escaping death
twice during his time as governor of the state.
During the service, the former governor said he was poisoned
at the national secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and that he
was hurriedly flown out of the country for medical treatment.
In a statement on Monday, Shaibu said Wike should go for
confession over how he “badly” governed Rivers state instead of thanking God.
“Governor Wike ought
to be doing confessions rather than thanksgiving. Psalm 51:17 says God does not
despise a broken spirit and a contrite heart,” he said.
“His thanksgiving cannot be acceptable to God unless there
is first repentance.”
The aide said Seyi Makinde, governor of Oyo and ally of
Wike, should concentrate on working for his people.
“Governor Makinde should, however, focus on delivering the
dividends of democracy to the people of Oyo,” he said.
“He is the only G5 member who currently holds political
office. The other four are jobless spent forces who are running helter-skelter
seeking appointment and protection from the EFCC.”
