Ijaw leader, Chief Edwin Clark, has called on the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to arrest the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, over his recent threat to ignite violence in states governed by Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors.

Wike had issued the warning during the PDP state congress in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, urging PDP governors to stay out of the party's affairs in Rivers.

At a press conference in Abuja on Thursday, Clark condemned Wike's remarks, labeling them as "flagrant disrespect" to President Bola Tinubu, who appointed him as FCT Minister. He described Wike's comments as "unbridled" and argued that they could incite violence, equating them to treason.

Clark also noted that political figures like Omoyele Sowore, the African Action Congress presidential candidate, and #EndBadGovernance protesters had been arrested for similar offenses. He urged the Inspector General to take the same action against Wike and compel him to retract his statement.
