Clark calls for expulsion of Wike from PDP over attacks on Fubara

Elder statesman and Niger Delta Leader, Chief Edwin Clark, has expressed his frustrations over what he described as harassments of Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State by his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, while the People Democratic Party, PDP National Working Committee, NWC led by Ambassador Umar Damagum failed to intervene.

Clark, who is also the leader of Pan Niger Delta Forum said this while appealing to Damagun to expel Wike, who is now the FCT Minister from the party in an open letter to the PDP leadership n Abuja on Tuesday.

The PANDEF also accused Wike of using his ties with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to undermine the PDP and harras Fubara.

He added that Wike has continued to destabilise the PDP from within and that his recent actions are aimed at undermining the Rivers State government.

Clark also accused Damagun and the PDP National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, of complicity in Wike’s disruptive activities.

According to him, Damagun and Anyawu were undermining the party’s legal efforts against defected lawmakers from Rivers State.

“I cannot stand by and let Wike continue to attack the governor,” Clark said,

He accused the former Rivers governor of hypocrisy for criticising former Governors Bello Matawalle, Dave Umahi, and Ben Ayade when they defected to the APC, while aligning himself with the ruling party.

Clark also appealed to the PDP leadership to form a probe committee to investigate activities of Wike and others and take appropriate action.
