Leader of the Pan-Niger Delta Forum, EDWIN CLARK, has described as an imposed settlement, the truce reached between Governor SIMINALAYI FUBARA of Rivers State and his predecessor, NYESOM WIKE, who is now the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory.
In a press conference in Abuja, the elder statesmen said the communique issued at the end of the reconciliatory meeting was baffling, appalling and unacceptable to the people, especially, the Ijaw ethnic nationality.
CLARK said from the terms of settlement it is obvious that President BOLA TINUBU sees his role as a mediator, to once again, show gratitude to WIKE for ‘delivering’ Rivers State to him during the past Presidential elections, having first pleased him by making him the Minister.
According to the Elder Stateman, the eight resolutions reached, are the most unconstitutional, absurd and obnoxious resolutions at settling feuding parties that he has ever witnessed in his life.
He maintained that Governor FUBARA was ambushed and intimidated into submission.
He, however, insisted that he would go to go court to resist the oppressive action using all available constitutional and legal means.
