A prominent political figure in Rivers State, Edwin Clark, recently accused Governor Nyesom Wike of multiple infractions in a stinging speech, according to the Tribune. Clark, a long-serving politician who has been active in state matters since before independence, has openly voiced his displeasure with Wike's mistakes.
Clark brought up the fact that President Tinubu's participation in the fight between Wike and the FCT minister had failed to end the dispute. The fact that Wike has repeatedly shown contempt by labelling him and other esteemed leaders as "interlopers" who are trying to undermine his authority is something he stressed. In addition, Clark claimed that Wike was behind an impeachment scheme involving former Assembly members who were told to begin the process by Wike at a secret meeting. In addition, Clark asserted that Wike's backing of Fubara was an attempt to evade investigation by the EFCC and similar agencies. Clark revealed an astonishing event in which members of the Assembly who were supposedly supporting Wike suddenly switched allegiances and joined the All Progressives Congress (APC). By claiming that individuals implicated in the dubious transfer had given up their seats in the legislature, he brought attention to the constitutional consequences of the decision. Clark went on to attack Wike's political strategies, calling him a harbinger of anarchy and drawing attention to his bitter feud with PDP heavy hitters.
Clark brought attention to Wike's daring presence at a recent PDP National Executive Committee meeting—at which Governor Fubara also participated—in the midst of the political turmoil in Rivers State, casting doubt on Wike's professed allegiance to the party. Clark portrayed Wike as the epicentre of a political maelstrom rife with intrigue, treachery, and power conflicts in a scathing critique. Viewers are glued to the screen, eagerly awaiting the next chapter in this captivating story of political strife in Rivers State.
