Chief Edwin Clark, a former Minister of Information and Niger Delta leader, has declared that he will not allow the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, to harm Rivers State.
Edwin Clark accused Wike of leveraging his connection with President Bola Tinubu to pressure Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State.
During a press conference at his residence in Abuja, the veteran statesman called on the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Iliya Damagun, to expel Wike for the party’s survival.
Emphasizing that he has been involved in politics long before Wike’s time, Clark warned Damagun that if action is not taken against the minister, it will lead to consequences for both Wike and their allies.
He alleged that after failing to disrupt the PDP with the APC, Wike is now using the party to create internal strife.
“After conceding that former Rivers State governor, Peter Odili and his wife made him what he is today and will forever remain grateful to them, he is now abusing them. I won’t allow him to destroy Rivers State,” Clark said.
Wike and Fubara have been at each others neck shortly after the latter assumed office as governor of Rivers State.
