Arrest Wike Now For Treason, Disrespecting Tinubu – Clark Tells IG

Elder statesman and leader of the Ijaw nation, Chief Edwin Clark, has called on the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to immediately arrest the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, over his threat to set fire to states governed by governors from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

THE WHISTLER reports that Wike had threatened to cause fire in states under the control of PDP while speaking at the PDP secretariat in Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital, on Saturday during the party’s state congress.

He was miffed that the governors of the PDP had thrown their support for Sim Fubara of Rivers, his successor and one time staunch political ally.

The governor and his predecessor fell out over the latter’s demand to control the political structure in the state and have final say on the resources of the state.

Before the governor took a different political course, Wike had appointed all the commissioners, aides as well as nominating almost all members of the state assembly for elections.

Fubara’s refusal to honour what Wike said was an “agreement” which saw his emergence as governor has set the state on fire.

Clark said Wike’s threat was a form of treason and demanded that he should be removed and arrested immediately.

Speaking during a press conference on Thursday in Abuja, Clark said the words of the minister marked a “flagrant disrespect to the person of President Bola Tinubu, who appointed him.”

He described his comments as “unbridled”, arguing that the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore, and #EndBadGovernance protesters had been arrested for similar offences and that Wike’s utterances must not be treated differently.

He urged the IG to do the same for the FCT minister and get him to retract his statements.

Details soon…
