Rivers Crisis: What we told Wike – Niger Delta leaders

Leaders of various ethnic nationalities in the Niger Delta have paid a solidarity visit to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory , Nyesom Wike, to convey the region’s appreciation to President Bola Tinubu and congratulate the minister on his appointment.

“As Lagos State is very dear to the South-west, so is Rivers State to the Niger Delta. This is because as an injury to one is an injury to all, we feel justified to condemn the macabre dance playing out there. The statement noted that as a political leader in Rivers, Mr Wike wields the influence to broker peace as both the executive and legislators consist of his political protégé.

It further noted that the leaders drawn from various states of the Niger Delta region paid the visit to show their support to Mr Wike following recent comments by Sheik Gumi and advocate a resolution of the political turmoil in Rivers. According to the statement, Mr Wike is not a political orphan from the Niger Delta as he has a very strong socio-political base.
