Saying that Wike had dared the Ijaw people and that the Ijaw nation was outraged, Okaba claimed that the President’s silence, while Wike was embarrassing his state and the country, demonstrated that the federal government supported Wike’s action.
Naija News reports that the Ijaw group leader made the statement at Government House, Port Harcourt, on Friday, when he led hundreds of young Ijaws in a solidarity march to the governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara.
