The Governorship Candidate of the Labour Party, LP, in the
2023 general elections in Bayelsa State, Udengs Eradiri has urged the suspended
Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara to beg the Minister of the Federal
Capital Territory, Nyesome Wike to ease the political tension in Rivers State.
Eradiri claimed that the incompetence of the suspended
Fubara caused the crisis in his state, asking the governor to stop ethnicising
the impasse.
“As for Governor Siminalayi Fubara, he is incompetent and
that is what has brought all this negative energy. He should not involve Ijaw
in his political issues and affairs. Let him tell us how he has supported the
Ijaws or Ijaw activities.
“How many Ijaws of Rivers State did he empower that he is
demanding Ijaw support now? How many of the IYC comrades in the Eastern zone
were LGA chairmen, commissioners and appointees in his government?
“I advise Fubara to go and kneel before Wike and beg for
forgiveness. Those who are deceiving him have no balls. They go cap in hand
kneeling and begging the same Wike when they get it they come in the open to
claim Ijaw lions,” he said.
The ex-Bayelsa LP flag bearer faulted the way the Ijaw
National Congress, INC, handled the Rivers crisis and warned the body against
ethnicising political issues, insisting that the INC brought the Rivers
embarrassment on the Ijaw nation.
He said the INC should not be romancing governors’ egos,
adding that the institution is bigger than them and once they belittle the INC
before the incompetent governors, the institutions would be ripe for ridicule
and insults.
According to him, nobody is more Ijaw than any other, urging
INC to protect all interests and stay away from politics.
