 IGP has received a petition to arrest FCT Minister, Wike.

 

NewsOnline Nigeria reports that a former Federal Commissioner for Information and South-South, Edwin Clark, has formally addressed a letter to Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, urging the immediate arrest and prosecution of Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA).

 

During a press briefing held at his residence in Asokoro on Thursday, the Ijaw leader expressed his concerns regarding Wike’s recent remarks, in which he threatened to incite violence against the governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Wike made these statements while addressing attendees at the PDP secretariat in Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers State, during the party’s state congress on Saturday, cautioning PDP governors to refrain from interfering in the party’s matters 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, during the briefing on Thursday, Clark remarked that the statements made by the former governor of Rivers State represented a “blatant disrespect” towards President Bola Tinubu, who appointed him.

 

He characterized these remarks as “unrestrained” and asserted that they constituted a form of treason, as they had the potential to incite violence within the nation.

 

The Elder statesman noted that Omoyele Sowore, the Presidential Candidate of the African Action Congress, along with #EndBadGovernance protesters, had been detained for similar offences.

 

He emphasized that the Inspector General of Police should take equivalent action against the FCT Minister and compel him to retract his statements.
