President Tinubu Should Warn Wike To Stop Trying To Get Governor Fubara Impeached – Group

The Ijaw National Congress has called on President Bola Tinubu to ask the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike and his loyalists to stop their moves aimed at sacking the Rivers State Governor, Siminialayi Fubara.

The group recently had its say via a statement signed by its President, Prof Benjamin Okab, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, it is very curious that despite previous interventions of Tinubu and other critical stakeholders, Wike is still hell bent on ensuring the impeachment of Fubara.

He added that Wike has even been spotted on several network TV stations making provocative statements and scandalous claims against Governor Fubara.

His words, “Mr President, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, we implore you once again to call Mr Wike and those Federal Government agencies and agents who are putting Rivers State at risk of anarchy, to order. Such elements are inimical to the stability of Nigeria sooner or later.

Mr Wike has also featured on several network TV stations where he made very provocative statements and scandalous claims against Governor Fubara; accusing the governor of attempting to ‘take over’ his ‘structure’, openly taunting him as an ingrate who is lacking in integrity as well as asserting without investigation that the governor masterminded the burning down of the hallowed chamber of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

Is Mr Wike at make scandalous, libellous and inciting comments without fear of sanction from the security agencies or even Mr President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu?

Is Wike the C-in-C of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, such that those on national assignments in Rivers State now act according to his whims and caprices or those he supports, in the push to impeach or make Rivers State ungovernable for His Excellency Governor Siminialayi Fubara, as he publicly boasted? As we glean from history, can law-abiding citizens suffer such intolerable lawlessness orchestrated by one man, indefinitely?

We, therefore, submit to Mr President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu that Ijaw National Congress Worldwide, its affiliate bodies, substructures and activists are direly concerned by the impunity and indecorous conduct by a Minister of the Federal Government and the apparent connivance of those who ought to curb his excesses.”
