The Ijaw National Congress (INC) has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to call the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, to order over his comments on the Ijaw ethnic nationality.

The INC was reacting to comments credited to Mr Wike that the Ijaw people “were a minority of minorities in Rivers and other South-south states except Bayelsa.”

Ezonebi Oyakemeagbegha, the INC national spokesperson, said the congress had taken note of the FCT minister’s remarks.

“We will continue to maintain peace and stability as we call on President Tinubu to caution him and redirect his focus to his ministerial duties.

“The INC remains committed to preserving the harmony enjoyed by all in the Niger Delta region.

“We have taken note of the recent remarks made by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory.

“Given his eight-year tenure as governor of Rivers, we expected a more informed understanding of the state’s history,” the INC said.

The INC said the Ijaw people are the fourth largest ethnic group in Nigeria, with over 40 million people, and the oldest tribe in Nigeria, as documented in history.

“They are the largest ethnic group in Rivers with eight local government areas, and also not a minority in Delta.

“The Ijaw have consistently advocated for fairness and equity in the Niger Delta region and the South-south, and we will not be swayed by individual attempts to provoke us,” Mr Oyakemeagbegha said.

Governor Fubara, of the Ijaw ethnic nationality, has been engaged in a protracted political battle with his predecessor, Mr Wike, over the control of the political structure in Rivers.

Some Ijaw groups are backing Mr Fubara against Mr Wike.

Wike fumbled because of his awareness of power of the Ijaw nation. ...he would have dialogue with the Ijaw nation for a replacement of Fubara with another Ijaw son but he chooses to wage a war with the whole Ijaw nation ...so unfortunate for Wike , I feel pity for his political career ...Wike will be Amaechi by 2027 if he fails to take caution and make peace...

How exactly is he going to do that?

SmartPolician:
How exactly is he going to do that?

Wike knows better , but I guess for trust , he doesn't want to risk another Ijaw son which is the reason he chooses to fight the Ijaw nation ...the ijaws stood with Wike against Amaechi , they fought Baba Buhari lead fed troops to deliver Wike against Amaechi, and Wike decided to compensate them with Fubara ... Wike wants to take the highest chair of Rivers ahead of the elders and former Govs, Peter Odili ,Celestine Omeiha, Patience Jonathan, Cobany...Amaechi tried it , he was retired ,now Wike wants to try because he feels his wife would the judiciary work for him that Peter Odili retired wife has been doing ...by 2027 , he will retired politically. Amaechi has learned his lesson and he is currently making peace to bounce back while Wike is allowing his ego to push him to go replace Amaechi in political retirement
