Rivers: Clark Faults Tinubu’s ‘Imposed Settlement’, Threatens Lawsuit

Leader of the Pan-Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), Pa Edwin Clark, has described the truce reached between Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor and FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike as an “imposed settlement.

Speaking at a press conference in Abuja, the elder statesmen said the communique issued at the end of the reconciliatory meeting was “baffling, appalling and unacceptable” to the people, especially, the Ijaw ethnic nationality.

Clark alleged that from the terms of settlement, President Bola Tinubu sees his role as a mediator to show gratitude to the FCT Minister for ‘delivering’ Rivers State to him during the past Presidential elections.

He said the eight resolutions reached, are the most unconstitutional, and absurd resolutions at settling feuding parties that he has seen saying Fubara was ambushed and intimidated into submission.

He stressed that the president cannot use his powers to override the constitution.

The nonagenarian vowed to go to court to resist what he termed as the oppressive action using all available constitutional and legal means while appealing to the aggrieved youths to remain calm.

Yesterday, President Bola Tinubu had intervened in the political crisis in the state by initiating a truce agreement between Governor Fubara and Wike through the signing of an eight-point resolution.

These include that Fubara and his team would withdraw all the court cases instituted and that the Rivers Assembly would drop all impeachment proceedings against the governor.

Also, the leadership of the Rivers State House of Assembly as led by the Martin Amaewhule shall be recognized alongside the 27 members who resigned from the PDP, among others.
