Rivers Saga: INC Calls On Ijaws To Support Fubara.

 

As the Battle for the soul of Rivers State regards on, the Ijaw National  Congress has  called on all jaw sons, daughters and friends to rally their support to the Governor of River State according to INC, an injustice to one jaw man is an injustice to over forty (40) million Ijaw people across the world.

In a statement on Monday, the president of INC Prof. Benjamin Ogele Okaba  stated that "The attention of the jaw National Congress has been drawn to a grand plot masterminded by the immediate past governor of River State, now the FCT Minister, Barrister Nyesom Wike to unlawfully impeach the duly elected Governor of River State, His Excellency, Similaye Fubara who is barely five months in office as Governor of River State.

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

"Wike should be advised to concentrate on his responsibilities as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Abuja and stop interfering and arm swinging the political machinery in River State to advance his personal and selfish desires.

"The INC is hereby calling on Mr. President and Commander in Chief President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to call his FCT Minister to order.

"The INC is calling on all jaw sons, daughters and friends to rally their support to 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 ljaw Nation Is Watching Closely and will act decisively and appropriately at the right time. The statement concluded.
