Governor Siminalayi Fubara of River State has said he won’t worship those who helped him into office regarding the roles they play  including his predecessor Nyesom Wike.

Fubara claimed that there was nothing wrong with one helping another person, but that does not mean the helper should take the place of God.

The Governor spoke when he received on courtesy visit from the Bayelsa State delegation of political and traditional leaders, led by former Governor of the State, Senator Seriake Dickson, at the Government House in Port Harcourt on Monday.

This was contained in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Nelson Chukwudi, and sent to newsmen.

The statement quoted the governor as saying that as long as he was concerned, God would remain God, who could sometimes cause one’s enemy to be a willing vessel to bring about one’s promotion in life.

He said, “God can do anything He wants to do when He wants to do it. It is only for us to realise that. God will not come down from Heaven but will pass through one man or woman to achieve His purpose.

“So, for that reason, when we act, we act as humans; human vessels that God has used, and not seeing yourself as God.

“I want to say this clearly that we appreciate the role our leaders, most especially the immediate past governor, played. But that is not enough for me to worship a human being. I can’t do that.”
