The convener of the Pan Niger Delta Forum, Edwin Clark, has hit out at the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, saying he was once an ordinary lawyer not into law practice but collecting rents from users of motor parks.
Clark made this claim in respect of the political crisis rocking the Rivers State.
The crisis rose from the relationship of the ex-governor and his predecessor, Gov. Siminalayi Fubara that went sour.
The 96-year-old in an interview with Arise TV threw shade at the FCT minister, accusing him of incivility and having a not so pleasing past.
His words, “Wike is a man without integrity. A man with double standards. He doesn’t understand himself. He’s dancing naked in the market. He doesn’t know. He has one leg in the APC and the other leg in the PDP. Who’s he deceiving?
“In 2015, who put Wike there? Who sponsored him to become governor of Rivers state? He should ask himself whether he was sponsored by people or he just came like that. Who was he? He was just a lawyer in Port Harcourt and he was collecting rent from motor parks before Peter Odili made him the chairman of a local government council. That’s number one.
“Today, we know who made him governor. President Jonathan and his wife, Patience Jonathan, imposed Wike on the people of Rivers state against the wish of the people. But because Mrs Jonathan is a Rivers woman and Ijaw lady, she was able to get a vote of confidence for this ungrateful Wike.
“Today, what’s the relationship between him and the former First Lady and Jonathan?”
