Your Plot To Impeach Fubara Selfish, Nepotistic – Ijaw Group Fires Wike

The Ijaw National Congress (INC) has accused the Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, of being behind the plot to impeach Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State.

In a press statement on Monday signed by its President, Prof. Benjamin Ogle Okaba, the group said the plot to impeach the Rivers governor is selfish, nepotistic and barbaric.

The group said the plot to impeach Fubara is very worrisome and capable of generating an unwarranted state of insecurity and instability in Rivers State and the entire Niger Delta region.

It also warned Wike to concentrate on his responsibilities as the FCT minister and stop interfering and arm-twisting the political machinery in the state to advance his personal and selfish desires.

The statement areas: “The INC considers this development very worrisome and capable of generating an unwarranted state of insecurity and instability that can throw the entire Niger Delta and the Nigerian economy into serious crises.

“From reports gathered, Governor Fubara has done nothing wrong to warrant his removal except for the fact that he has decided not to remain a stooge to the immediate past Governor.

“The INC condemns in its entirety this barbaric, selfish, nepotistic and unconstitutional act capable of derailing the process of democratic consolidation in Nigeria.

“The INC calls on M President and Commander in Chief, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to call his FCT Minister to order.

“The INC also calls on all jaw sons, daughters and friends to rally their support for the Governor of River State as an injustice to one jaw man is an injustice to over forty (40) million Ijaw people across the world.

“The Ijaw Nation is watching closely and will act decisively and appropriately at the right time”.
