Rivers Crisis: Let Nobody Deceive You, Fubara Is Not Ijaw Man – Wike Says

 Wike stated this while addressing a large number of Kalabari people at a reception organized for him on Saturday.



Nyesom Wike, the immediate past Governor of Rivers State, has said that Governor Similayi Fubara is not an Ijaw man.


Wike stated this while addressing a large number of Kalabari people at a reception organized for him on Saturday.


Recall that Wike had recently claimed that an Ijaw man would not have become governor in Rivers State without his support, talking about Fubara.


Wike said the Ijaw ethnic group does not constitute the majority in any of the Niger Delta states except Bayelsa.


The statement came amid the ongoing political crisis in the Rivers State, with Wike and Fubara at the center of the feud.


In the same interview, Wike said that people from the Opobo clan of Rivers State, where the governor comes from, are not real Ijaw people.


Speaking to the Kalabaris on Saturday, Wike was more direct, saying, “Let nobody deceive you that the governor is Ijaw; he is not. All of you are Ijaw; are you benefiting? Politics is interest.


“We must come up to say people must not behave and treat people, used and dump them and then you say it’s politics. That politics has to stop.”
