Chief Edwin Clark, the South South Leader, has criticized the national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, and the acting national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Amb. Umar Damagum, accusing them of colluding with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to undermine Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State.
Clark has urged the National Working Committee (NWC), the National Executive Committee (NEC), and stakeholders of both parties to intervene and rein in Ganduje and Damagum. In a letter addressed to the chairmen of the two parties, Clark, the leader of the Pan-Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), called for action against Wike’s interference in Rivers State politics.
Expressing concern over Ganduje’s support for Wike, Clark emphasized the need for both parties to withdraw from the political crisis in Rivers State to prevent further escalation.
Clark’s letter reads: “As a patriotic old statesman, I strongly believe I should address this letter to you to call to order FCT Minister, Chief Wike, because he is dancing naked in the open market in the politics of madness in Rivers State, with one leg each in the two parties. I know both of you are fully aware and involved in the political crisis in Rivers State, which is caused by Wike who is controlling the two parties in Rivers State, particularly the PDP. I strongly advise both of you to withdraw from the madness of politics of Rivers State to avoid the dangerous crisis facing Rivers State, one of the most important states producing the resources used to sustain the economy of this country.”
