Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has been warned by a civil society organisation, the New Initiative for Credible Leadership, NILC, to stop setting off Nigerians against President Muhammadu Buhari.

Revd. Steven Onwu the Executive Director of the group while stating on Sunday that the planned protest against Buhari on Thursday in Port Harcourt is uncalled for, said that the announcement by facilitators of the protest tagged “Occupy Nigeria Season 2”, where they revealed that a protest was being planned against federal government’s inability to solve the perennial fuel scarcity in the country, is mischievous.



Onwu also said that the mass action, which is apparently being sponsored by Governor Wike, was because President Muhammadu Buhari consistently maintained his neutrality in the state’s rerun poll instead of supporting him as he had expected, IgbereTV reports.

His words: “The issue between the Minister of Transport and immediate past governor, Rotimi Amaechi and Wike has reached its limit. It is the reason Wike is sponsoring the so called ‘Occupy Nigeria Season 2’ to both embarrass and sabotage the Federal Government. If this is Wike’s strategy of getting at President Buhari for not taking sides in the re-run elections then it is very sad.

“Mr President displayed the maturity expected of a statesman by neither siding with Amaechi nor Wike; so why should the governor now be trying to burn the state simply to spite the FG,” Onwu said.

He also urged all those invited for the protest to ask critical questions before making themselves available.

He said: “Our advice to student bodies, NGOs, CSOs, CBOs and any other person or group that has been contacted for this paid protest is that they should read between the lines and understand what it is they are asking for. The economic situation in the land and the associated fuel crisis are already being dealt with from what is being reported in the media so what else is the protest meant to achieve?”
