Wike says ‘no sin in politics’ as Fubara returns to Rainbow Coalition
FCT minister Nyesom Wike has welcomed the return of Governor Siminalayi Fubara to his political side, declaring the latter has corrected his mistakes.
He said this in Abuja on Tuesday after inspecting the project, alongside the ongoing construction of the service carriageways of the Southern Parkway in Gaduwa District, Abuja.
Reacting to the Rivers governor’s recent declaration about his return to the Rainbow Coalition and pledge of complete loyalty to President Bola Tinubu’s re-election, Mr Wike said, “There is no sin in politics.”
The minister further stated, “If someone realises he made a mistake and decides to correct it, there is nothing wrong with that.
“What matters is recognising that you were on the wrong path and deciding to take the right path.”
The minister, who welcomed Mr Fubara back into his political fold, insisted that the governor had “no other choice” than to return to the political family that brought him to power.
Mr Wike explained that the Rivers governor’s decision to align with his political camp publicly was a step in the right direction, adding that the reconciliation would strengthen support for Mr Tinubu ahead of the 2027 elections.
“I said during my last media chat that he had no other choice but to return to the same political family that produced him,” Mr Wike stated.
