 Threat Against PDP Govs: Arrest Wike, charge him for treason – Clark tells IGP


An erstwhile Federal Commissioner for Information and South-South leader, Edwin Clark has petitioned the Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun, to urgently arrest and prosecute the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.


The Ijaw leader, in a letter to the IGP, read on Thursday during a press briefing at his Asokoro residence, asked Egbetokun to arrest Wike over his threat to set fire in the states of governors of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.


DAILY POST recalls that Wike, while speaking at the PDP secretariat in Port Harcourt, the state capital, on Saturday during the party’s state congress, warned the PDP governors to stay clear of the party’s affairs in Rivers.


“Let me assure all of you, not while we live will anybody take away the structure of the PDP from us. But let me tell people, I hear some governors who say they will take over the structure and give it back to somebody.


“I pity those governors because I will put fire in their states. When God has given you peace, you say you don’t want peace – anything you see, you take,” Wike had said.


Reacting, Clark said that the words of the former Rivers State governor marked a flagrant disrespect to the person of President Bola Tinubu, who appointed him.


He described Wike’s comments as a form of treason, capable of inciting violence in the country.


According to the elder statesman, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore, and #EndBadGovernance protesters had been arrested for similar offences.


He insisted that the IGP must do the same with the FCT minister and get him to retract his statements.
