Edwin Clark blames Wike for Rivers crisis

The convener of the Pan Niger Delta Forum, Edwin Clark, has blamed Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, for the crisis in Rivers State.

The elder statesman aired his view during an interview on Arise TV on Wednesday.

The Ijaw leader said that the immediate past Rivers governor had led five lawmakers in 2013 to impeach the speaker.

He wondered why the same Wike should be arguing that the same five lawmakers in the State today are not constitutional.

He said, “Wike is a contradicting fellow. He does not believe in one thing. Same Wike in 2013 led five members of the House of Assembly under the leadership of Michael Chinda when Amaechi was ruling.

“He was supported by the presidency so they had the security among them. Five of them went to impeach the speaker, Hon. Amachree and eventually went to impeach Amaechi. READ MORE
