Don’t fuel Rivers crisis, Edwin Clark tells APC, PDP

Don’t fuel Rivers crisis, Edwin Clark tells APC, PDP

Leader of the Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), Edwin Clark, has warned against the two political parties fueling the crisis in Rivers State.

He also accused Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, of sowing a seed of discord against Governor Sim Fubara of the state.

In a letter dated May 20, 2024, addressed to the chairmen of both the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and All Progressives Congress (APC), Clark expressed concerns about the crisis.

He stated, “As a patriotic old statesman, I strongly believe that I should address this letter to you to call to order FCT Minister, Chief Nyesom Wike, because he is dancing naked in the open market in the politics of madness in Rivers State with one leg each in the two parties.”

Clark highlighted Wike’s alleged control over both the PDP and APC in the state, urging action to prevent further political turmoil.

He emphasized the importance of stability in Rivers State, a significant contributor to the nation’s economy due to its oil resources and the presence of International Oil Companies (IOCs) and the Onne deep seaport.

He further said, “I strongly advise both of you to withdraw from the madness of politics of Rivers State to avoid the dangerous crisis facing Rivers State, one of the most important states producing the resources used to sustain the economy of this country.”

Clark condemned the Federal Government and the political parties’ inaction in the face of disruption in Rivers State.
