A militant group under the aegis of Ijaw Renaissance has warned that if the former Governor Nyesom Wike and his successor Sim Fubara is not adequately handled Nigerians should expect a resurgence of another oil war in the Niger Delta region.
This was contained in a statement issued and signed by its leader, Wisdom Oniekpar Ikuli and White Kalio.
Read full statement below:
“We, members of ljaw Renaissance Force, a coalition of over O0 ethnic nationalities and youth groups operating in Rivers and Bayelsa, have watched with grave concern the ongoing power tussle between former Governor Nyesom Wike, now FCT Minister, and Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State.
“We have also watched with baited breath attempts by some elected officials and other non state actors to stage manage the forceful removal rom office of duly elected Governor Fubara through the back door without any justifiable reason.
On its part, our coalition have equally made spirited efforts and reached out to both parties and other critical stakeholders in the power struggle in a bid to let sanity prevail so as to uphold the sacred mandate of Rivers people for the good governance they so much desired.
“We, therefore, state unequivocally that any attempted or vexed impeachment judicial stage managed removal of Gov. Sim Fubara from office would spell another return to the oil war struggle in Rivers.
A word is enough for the wise.
