Niger Delta Leaders Urge Tinubu To Act On Wike
By Benjamin Abioye
Amid rising tensions in Rivers State and the Niger Delta, two monarchs have urged President Tinubu to dismiss Wike or intervene before his actions escalate the crisis.
Amid rising tensions in Rivers State, including the attack on the Trans-Niger pipeline in Bodo, two traditional rulers—King Dodo II of Bilabiri Kingdom in Bayelsa State and King-Jerry Prebor of the Meinbutus Federal Communities in Warri, Delta State—have called on President Bola Tinubu to take action against the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
They urged the president to either remove Wike from office or intervene before his actions escalate the crisis in the region.
The monarchs voiced their concerns over Wike’s political ambitions for 2027, warning that his activities could create more instability. They believe that if left unchecked, Wike’s actions could harm both the president’s administration and the people of Rivers State.
King Prebor, in a direct appeal to President Tinubu, stressed the urgency of the situation. He stated, “Given the current events in Rivers State and the likely outcome, I implore President Tinubu, Wike’s employer, to fire him now or call him to order before things get out of hand.” He emphasized that Wike’s influence was destabilizing the region and needed immediate attention.
Similarly, King Dodo II expressed deep concern over the ongoing crisis, urging the president to act swiftly to prevent further damage. He stated, “On the present situation in the Niger Delta, particularly Rivers State, the president should call his minister to order. The president should take the matter of Rivers State as a serious issue and act fast on it. He should not become the enemy of the Rivers people because of Wike’s selfish desire.”
The growing unrest in Rivers State has heightened fears of further disruptions, with many stakeholders urging the federal government to step in and prevent further escalation.
