Elder statesman and former Federal Commissioner for Information, Chief Edwin Clark, on Tuesday tasked the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to stop interfering in Rivers state politics.
News About Nigeria reports that Clark also tasked the immediate former governor of Rivers State to focus on his assignment as FCT Minister.
The south-south leader, who said this in an interview with AIT on Tuesday, also advised Wike to allow Governor Siminalayi Fubara to lead the people of Rivers State.
He also accused Wike and the immediate past Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, of being the masterminds of what he described as the politics of madness in Rivers State.
Clark said, “Politics of madness in Rivers State were started by Wike and Amaechi. They don’t care about other people. So, there is no way Wike should stay, and remain in Abuja to do his job. Let the young man rule his place. What are you going to settle them for? Were they quarrelling? What are you settling them for? People said Wike made Fubara governor; yes, that is true. The man has acknowledged it. But he says, I can’t worship a human being; I will worship God to show appreciation. But Wike said that I worship God through me. The man said no. That is the problem they have.”
The elder statesman further stated that what is playing out in Rivers State is egocentrism, which is, “the issue of I made you the governor of the state and you must worship me, but the other saying that he cannot worship man, but God, even though he agreed that he was made the governor by the former governor.”
