Elder Statesman Calls For Wike’s Arrest Over Alleged Treasonous Acts Against PDP Governors

Former Federal Commissioner for Information and South-South leader, Edwin Clark, has formally petitioned the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, urging the immediate arrest and prosecution of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.

In a letter addressed to the IGP, which Clark read during a press briefing at his Asokoro residence on Thursday, the Ijaw leader called for Wike’s arrest over inflammatory remarks he made regarding governors from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Wike, speaking at the PDP secretariat in Port Harcourt during the party’s state congress on Saturday, had issued a warning to PDP governors to stay away from the party’s affairs in Rivers State.

“Let me assure all of you, as long as we are alive, nobody will take the PDP structure from us. But let me tell those who are planning otherwise – some governors who think they can take over the structure and give it back to someone – I pity them. I will set fire to their states. When God has given you peace, and you say you don’t want peace, whatever happens next is on you,” Wike stated.

Reacting to these comments, Clark expressed outrage, describing Wike’s words as a direct affront to President Bola Tinubu, who appointed him as a minister. Clark argued that such incendiary language was unacceptable, especially from a government official, and called on the IGP to take immediate legal action.
