Wike Breaks Silence: Full Statement On Rivers Assembly Crisis, Fubara’s Moves & Impeachment Plot

A large crowd of Kalabari Ijaw indigenes turned out to celebrate the former Rivers State governor at the event, which also served as a thanksgiving service. Wike, who received a warm welcome from supporters, stated that he attended despite threats from individuals attempting to prevent him, dismissing their efforts as mere “radio noise.”

During his speech, Wike affirmed that he would not interfere in the affairs of the Rivers State House of Assembly, led by Speaker Martins Amaewhule. His remark suggested that he would not oppose any potential impeachment move against Governor Siminalayi Fubara by the lawmakers.

Wike also accused the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Tammy Danagogo, of fueling the political crisis in Rivers State. He alleged that Danagogo played a crucial role in the ongoing power struggle between Governor Fubara and the Assembly.

Throughout the event, Wike was met with enthusiastic cheers from supporters. Mocking his critics, he dismissed their opposition as mere propaganda.

“I heard some people say I wouldn’t come here. Who are they, and how many are they? What you have done today is to show the world that all the noise on the radio is nothing. If you are Kalabari and Ijaw and you are receiving me today, may God bless you. I will continue to stand by you and support you,” Wike declared.

He clarified that his recent remarks on the Ijaw people had been misinterpreted, explaining that his comments were in the context of political agreements that facilitated an Ijaw candidate’s emergence as governor. Wike further revealed that, on the final day of deciding his successor, Fubara initially declined interest in the position, suggesting instead that it be given to then-Commissioner for Finance, Isaac Kamalu.
