Rivers crisis: Group sacks members supporting ex-governor Wike

The Concerned Rivers Citizens (CRC) announced on Tuesday the expulsion of some members suspected to be aligned with former governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State.

In a statement issued by CRC President Jackson Thomas and Secretary-General Kelvin Eguono, the group stated that the expelled individuals engaged in selfish and malicious activities.

“We are dismayed by these individuals’ attempts to blackmail Governor Simi Fubara in order to appease their sponsors, neglecting the actual issues at hand. We want to clarify that we do not endorse their agenda,” the statement read.

The CRC clarified its non-partisan stance, dedicated to advancing good governance and accountability in Rivers State. It emphasized that it does not pledge allegiance to either Wike or the current Governor, Siminalayi Fubara.

“We are committed to upholding truth and the rule of law in Rivers State, unaffected by personal agendas or political ties,” the statement concluded.

Since 2023, Wike, now the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, and Fubara have been embroiled in a political feud, creating a lingering crisis despite efforts by President Bola Tinubu and other stakeholders to mediate.
