Rivers Crises : Group Confronts Wike’s Ally for Insulting Fubara Amid
A socio-cultural group, Ogoni Development Drive, ODD, has called on the elders of Ikwerre ethnic nationality in Rivers State to prevail on one Dr. Samuel Nwanosike, council chairman of Ikwerre Local Government Area of the state, to desist from denigrating the office of the state governor.
The Ogboni Development Drive noted that Nwanosike, who is a strong political ally of the minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has developed a penchant for pouring insults on Governor Siminilayi Fubara without recourse to his revered office.
ODD in a statement by its convener, Solomon Lenu, Celestine Michael, Secretary among others, called on the security agencies to investigate Nwanosike.
The statement, yesterday, in Port Harcourt, said: “Before him, there were many who walked that inglorious path and are still around in our society today with bigger portfolios and better societal coordination.
We wish to inform him that, ‘although we preach peace, it does not mean we are oblivious of the art of war.’ And no matter how priceless peace may be when freedom is taken out of the equation, then war might just be a viable solution.
The group stated that there was a need for it to rise in the defence of Governor Fubara, who is from the same Rivers SouSouth-Eastnatorial district with the Ogonis, adding that the people of the area have had enough of Nwanosike’s diatribe since the outbreak of the crisis between the governor and his political ally, Nyesom Wike.
We have had enough of the denigration of our son, who by providence is occupying the number one seat of power of our dear state today, a rare occurrence that took 56 years to come by.
We heard his impertinence the first time and ignored him, bcause we believed it was an error of thought and a gaff manifested by some substance overdose. And that his handlers, kinsmen and principal will rein him in, and bring him to his senses.
