Politics and betrayal are the same, you must have a shock absorber – Wike tells those planning to join politics

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and former governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike, expressed that individuals aspiring to enter politics and wish to avoid betrayal should reconsider their involvement in the political arena.

He said this during his New Year banquet in Rivers State on Sunday, January 7.

’Why do you have shock absorber? You can marry today and she leaves tomorrow morning. Will you die? You have to be alive to marry another wife. You buy Global 7000, it crashes. will you die?  You buy a car and armed robber takes it on the road, will you die? You must have shock absorber. That is the only way you can survive. 

President Tinubu told me when we were meeting, he said look ‘ somebody told him don’t trust this person’. Politics and betrayal are the same mother and father. If you don’t want to be betrayed, don’t enter into politics. Don’t bother that anybody betrayed you. Prepare yourself that it will happen”
