“Political prosecution will come especially after you have left office so what you’re going through today is not peculiar with you and your family. I know they will come after me but am prepared, I am ready for them.”

These were the words of Rivers Governor Nyesom Wike on Sunday, as he alerted on how he is preparing for an onslaught which he said he was expecting on leaving office in in 2023.

He spoke at the dedication of son of Uche Nwosu and grandson of former Imo Governor Senator Rocha Okorocha, that his would do traducers would likely come after him for his strong views on national issues, in the same way they had now come after Okorocha and his family as political persecution.

Okorocha who was first detained in Owerri in February for breaking a seal placed into his property by the Imo State Government, was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), and released 48 hours before he was granted bail.

Wike in consoling the former governor, who appears to be a newly found political associate: “You should be strong and put your trust in God. I don’t stay close to people in power, particularly this kind of power, you see in life, I was looking around to see Governors. I know if Uche Nwosu is a sitting governor, you will see a lot of governors here.

“If Rochas was Governor you would have seen a lot of governors here. Life is like that. For me now I don’t even live in the Government House. I have parked out, even though I still have two more years, I am tired so I had to leave.

“Particularly again when you have a system that is not doing well, the truth must be told. Many people don’t like the truth that is why they don’t like me.

“You said this is APC hall, I came here I didn’t see any APC member. Today, I’ve converted it to Christian hall. The way I do my thing, nobody can stop me or tell me who can be my friend. Nobody in this country can tell where to go, nobody.

“I am happy he is no longer in power that is why I am coming close to him now to learn the experience of those who are no longer in power, so that by the time it gets to me I will be used to it.

“Owelle is facing a lot of crisis, it is not easy to pass through these crises but it will come but it will be over. I want to encourage you and your son-in-law to be strong. If it doesn’t happen like this you won’t know that God loves you. You will go through these battles for you to know that there is God. We have passed through these battles and we are still waiting to pass through them again.

“Just like Rochas, God has given everyone his talent. When I watch your son-in-law from far, I say you have a good son-in-law that is not arrogant, not a son-in-law that does not understand what marriage is all about. I wouldn’t have come. I will be in Imo State soon and I will tell them my mind. You should thank God.”
