Rivers Crisis: Call Wike to Order. We Don’t Want Fire on the Mountain- Ijaw Group Tells Tinubu

The Ijaw Monitoring Group has warned against any attempt to destabilize Rivers State Governor Siminalaye Fubara during the continuing conflict between the governor and Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesome Wike

The group also asked President Bola Tinubu to resolve the ongoing conflict between Fubara—an Ijaw ethnic group member—and Wike, his predecessor.

The group’s coordinator, Joseph Evah, made this known while speaking on Channels TV on Tuesday.

He said, “What is happening in our River State, fire is on the mountain in River State. We want the President to intervene in this matter. Call the FCT minister to order. We don’t want fire on the mountain in River State. That is our demand.

“Ijaw people will never fold hands. Just like Ikwerre people would not fold hands if they want to mess up their own son. The Urhobo people will not fold hands. The Yoruba people never folded their hands when annulment of June 12 took place.”

According to The PUNCH, Tinubu and the governors of the Peoples Democratic Party intervened in October to halt the impeachment proceedings against Fubara.

The state House of Assembly was the scene of an explosion on October 29, which seriously damaged property valued at millions of naira.

Moreover, it is stated that on October 30, early in the morning, while the governor was visiting the Assembly, law enforcement officers shot him with tear gas.

Wike and Fubara’s relationship reportedly soured since the Assembly was about to consider impeaching the governor.

Wike, a former state governor, has been accused by some of orchestrating the impeachment process.
