National leader of the South-South and Nigerian elder statesman, Edwin Clark has urged President Bola Tinubu to urgently call Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Abuja, Nyesom Wike to order over crisis in Rivers State.
Clark made the call at his Abuja residence alleging that the FCT Minister plotted to remove the Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara from office. He described the crisis in Rivers State as sad episode allegedly orchestrated by Wike.
The South-South leader also wants the President to call to order all the security agencies being used against the current Governor Sim Fubara.
He said the Governor was threatened by security operatives during his visit to the State House of Assembly complex on Monday following an explosion on Sunday night that set the chambers ablaze.
The First Republic Minister said if allowed to degenerate into the dark past and the Niger-Delta region by extension, the crisis will distabilise the country’s economy.
