Ijaw leader Edwin Clark has said the eight-point resolution released on Monday to abolish the political crisis in Rivers State was one-sided and unacceptable.
Recall that President Bola Tinubu and other stakeholders met on Monday with Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara, and his immediate predecessor, Nyesom Wike, over the crisis in the state.
They reeled out solutions to end the face-off between the two political gladiators.
Among other things, it was resolved that all matters instituted in the courts by the state governor against Wike and his team “shall be withdrawn immediately.”
A document that emerged after the meeting also mandated the state lawmakers loyal to Wike to halt all impeachment moves against Fubara.
Reacting to the development, Clark, an elder statesman, while speaking to journalists on Tuesday, picked holes in the resolutions.
According to him, the resolution was aimed at handing over the political leadership of the state to Wike, the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.
He said that from the terms of the purported settlement, it was obvious that Tinubu used his role as a mediator to show gratitude to the FCT minister for “delivering” Rivers State to him during the last presidential elections.
“We will resist any attempt, subtle, subterranean, covert, overt, to make an elected Ijaw son, Siminialayi Fubara, the Governor of Rivers State, a servant, a stooge to Nyesome Wike, who had boasted that any attempt by the governor to touch his so-called ‘Wike’s structure’ with the connivance and support of President Bola Tinubu, will be resisted by us.
“Like I said, we will go to court to resist this oppressive action using all available constitutional and legal means. It is on this note that I wish to appeal to the youths who are aggrieved to remain calm, as we will use legal means to dethrone this hydra-headed monster, called oppression,” Clark said.
