He argued that backing political disloyalty is a dangerous choice, insisting that those who encourage betrayal will ultimately become its victims.<\/p>\n<p>Amid his ongoing political rift with his successor in Rivers State, the minister framed his remarks as a spiritual revelation, saying unseen forces would soon hold his critics accountable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me tell you one thing: today is the 7th of February. Whoever is watching, whether you are a senator, a House of Representatives member, a minister, or a governor, if you support betrayers, people will continue to betray you in life,\u201d Wike said.<\/p>\n<p>He warned that such betrayal would leave its victims emotionally and physically shattered, unable to defend themselves when the consequences arrive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBetrayal is your portion, and the day you will be betrayed, you will not have the mouth to say anything; there you will collapse. You will reap the seed that you planted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on his own political journey, Wike noted that while it took time for his successor to turn against him, others would not be so fortunate. According to him, leaders who currently empower disloyal actors will face rebellion almost immediately from those they hope to install as successors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWatch every governor who is doing a second tenure, who has the ambition to put a successor and is supporting a betrayer, you will never survive it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe day your successor comes in, my own took some months; yours will start immediately. This is what the gods of the land have told me to tell you people,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n<p>Wike stressed that loyalty in politics goes beyond strategy, describing it as both a moral and spiritual principle. He warned that those who violate it would be haunted by betrayal in every sphere of life.<\/p>\n<p>He concluded by urging political leaders to take his message seriously, insisting that current events are simply the outcome of earlier decisions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou will reap it; whatever you sow, you will reap it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
