The Ijaw National Congress, INC, has called on Ijaw politicians to withdraw their support for Governor Nyesom Wike’s presidential ambition until he tenders an unreserved apology to the entire Ijaw nation.
A member of the National Representative Council (INC), Elder Christopher Abarowei, made the call in a statement on Wednesday.
According to him, the INC would no longer support the Governor’s Presidential ambition, adding that Wike’s mental state needs to be interrogated.
Part of his statement reads,
There is a popular saying that you know a person better when you give him power
“Governor Nyesom Wike has not disappointed those who helped him to be governor as he has turned himself into a complete public nuisance with the way and manner he quickly insults people at the least provocation.
“This drift into uncivilised and uncouth adventure by a state governor is in our opinion unacceptable, undeserving and outrightly condemnable.
“The recent outburst in a church of all places by Governor Wike against the Ijaw National Congress (INC) and the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) is a clear case of a man whose mental state has to be interrogated.
“It is highly unacceptable for a man occupying the most exalted position of Governor of Rivers State to use derogatory words like ‘Thunder Fire You’ in a church that is supposed to be congregated by decent people and respected workers in the Lord’s vineyard.
“This is a clear indication that the governor lacks the moral compass to manage a state not to talk of his delusional attempt to occupy the most exalted position in Nigeria.
