A former Federal Commissioner for Information and South South leader, Chief Edwin Clark, has written to the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, urging him to arrest and prosecute the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Administration, Nyesom Wike, over his recent comments.
In a letter read during a press briefing at his Asokoro residence, Clark stated, “I pity those governors because I will put fire in their states. When God has given you peace, you say you don’t want peace – anything you see, you take.” Clark described Wike’s comments as “unbridled” and a form of treason, capable of inciting violence in the country.
Clark said, “The words of the former Rivers State governor marked a flagrant disrespect to the person of President Bola Tinubu, who appointed him.”
He noted that others, like Omoyele Sowore and #EndBadGovernance protesters, had been arrested for similar offenses, and demanded that the IGP take the same action against Wike and force him to retract his statements.
Clark’s letter to the IGP read, “I urge you to arrest and prosecute the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Administration, Nyesom Wike, over his comments threatening to set fire to the states of Governors of the People’s Democratic Party.”
