Clark said the minister’s recent statement in Rivers state was capable of throwing the state into crisis.
Wike had said he enjoyed getting them (obviously referring to Gov. Siminalayi Fubara) that they can make mistakes that will cause them problems.
The former national commissioner in the letter reminded the leaders of the two major political parties in the country of the consequences of allowing Rivers state to boil
He said both leaders cannot feign Ignorance of the activities of the FCT minister in Rivers.
He warned that Ganduje and Damagum needed to curb the excesses of Wike “to avoid the dangerous crisis facing Rivers state, one of the most important states producing the resources used to sustain the economy of this country.
“I hope you do not forget that the International Oil Companies (IOCs) and the deep seaport of Onne are very well established in Rivers State.
“How can the federal government and the two main political parties allow an individual to disrupt and cause confusion, and harassment of the democratically elected governor, Siminalayi Fubara on the guise that he alone and not the people of Rivers State made Fubara Governor, in his provocative and inciting statement?
He added: “Nyesom Wike aggressively boasted that nobody can remove the member representing Ogu-Bolo Constituency.
“Therefore one is tempted to guess what this dangerous, diabolical, and mischievous politician can do to breach the constitution and cause a breakdown in law and order in the country.
“He is not in a position to amend section 109 (1g) of the constitution and he is not in a position to undermine the Supreme Court judgment which has now been firmly accepted as precedent, which binds all Courts in Nigeria.”
He also stressed: “The support given to Nyesom Wike by both party Chairmen has made him courageous enough to intimidate and anger the Rivers State Governor and Government and this is seen as an act to overthrow the duly elected Governor, which is criminal.
“Finally, I am therefore appealing to you, in the interest of peace and stability in Nigeria to disassociate yourselves from the diabolical and mischievous plan by Wike for no just cause to bring down the Government of his successor, Governor Fubara. I strongly advise both of you to retrace your steps and take charge of your political parties in Rivers State and not leave it Damagum.”
