In a letter dated June 25, 2024, former Federal Commissioner for Information and South-South leader, Chief Edwin Clark, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to immediately address the escalating political crisis in Rivers State.
Clark’s letter calls on the President to restrain Minister of Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), Nyesom Wike, and allow elected Governor Siminalayi Fubara to govern the state without interference.
Clark commended President Tinubu’s initial efforts to ease tensions in Rivers State but expressed concerns about Wike’s intentions, stating that the former Rivers State governor is not genuinely committed to peace.
