Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Ijaw leader Edwin Clark has said the eight-point resolution released on Monday to abolish the political crisis in Rivers State was one-sided and unacceptable.<\/p>\n

President Bola Tinubu and other stakeholders met on Monday with Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara, and his immediate predecessor, Nyesom Wike, over the crisis in the state.<\/p>\n

They reeled out solutions to end the face-off between the two political gladiators.<\/p>\n

Among other things, it was resolved that all matters instituted in the courts by the state governor against Wike and his team \u201cshall be withdrawn immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n

A document that emerged after the meeting also mandated the state lawmakers loyal to Wike to halt all impeachment moves against Fubara.<\/p>\n

Reacting to the development, Clark, an elder statesman, while speaking to journalists on Tuesday, picked holes in the resolutions.<\/p>\n

According to him, the resolution was aimed at handing over the political leadership of the state to Wike, the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.<\/p>\n

He said that from the terms of the purported settlement, it was obvious that Tinubu used his role as a mediator to show gratitude to the FCT minister for \u201cdelivering\u201d Rivers State to him during the last presidential elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will resist any attempt, subtle, subterranean, covert, overt, to make an elected Ijaw son, Siminialayi Fubara, the Governor of Rivers State, a servant, a stooge to Nyesome Wike, who had boasted that any attempt by the governor to touch his so-called \u2018Wike\u2019s structure\u2019 with the connivance and support of President Bola Tinubu, will be resisted by us.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike I said, we will go to court to resist this oppressive action using all available constitutional and legal means. It is on this note that I wish to appeal to the youths who are aggrieved to remain calm, as we will use legal means to dethrone this hydra-headed monster, called oppression,\u201d Clark said.<\/p>\n
