Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Leaders of various ethnic nationalities in the Niger Delta have paid a solidarity visit to Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), to convey the region\u2019s appreciation to President Bola Tinubu for including him in his cabinet.<\/p>\n

The Niger Delta leaders also congratulated Wike on his appointment as minister.<\/p>\n

A statement issued by Dr Kingsley Kuku on Saturday, noted that the 60-member delegation of prominent Niger Delta leaders was led by Prof A.W. Obianime, a former President of Ijaw National Congress (INC).<\/p>\n

On current political developments in Rivers, the leaders noted that the state was strategic to the South-South region and could not afford to be in crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Lagos State is very dear to the South West, so is Rivers State to the Niger Delta. This is because as an injury to one is an injury to all, we feel justified to condemn the macabre dance playing out there.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe join PANDEF, INC, IYC, MOSIEND, MOSOP, Ogbakor Ikwerre and all other responsible bodies in the Niger Delta in condemning the mischievous attempts at the State House of Assembly to impeach the State Governor on frivolous grounds of \u2018gross misconduct\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is quite unacceptable to us and to the entire Niger Delta. Any person, authority or group of persons involved in stoking this fire is strongly advised to desist from it and allow peace to reign,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

The statement noted that as a political leader in Rivers, Wike wields the influence to broker peace as both the executive and legislators consist of his political proteges.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey will listen to you when you talk to them. All eyes are on you. Be the peacemaker that you are and do all you can to timely quench this fire before it becomes devastating.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe consequences will do no one any good. It will not also speak well of us as Rivers people in particular and Niger Deltans in general.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour silence in this matter will not be golden and the world will think you\u2019re playing the ostrich.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe plead with you to step into a peaceful resolution of this matter so that the Nigerian populace will not say that Pompey was drinking tea when Rome was burning,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n
