It is the responsibility of Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike to mediate a settlement between Rivers State Governor Siminilayi Fubara.
In a statement issued on Sunday in Akure, Ondo State, through its president, Benjamin Okaba, the Ijaw National Congress Worldwide (INC) made the request.
The INC stated it will always support the truth and good administration, expressing its concern with the political unrest in the state, especially between Fubara and his predecessor.

The group, which applauded the people of Rivers State for opposing the alleged scheme to impeach Fubara, pleaded with Wike to refrain from upsetting the state’s existing government.
The statement read, “We urgently call on all political players in Rivers State to play their duty to their constituents and forthwith cease from any further acts capable of slurring the sanctity of the office, institution and person of the Governor of all Rivers people.
“We specifically appeal to Chief Nyesom Wike, to retrace his steps from stoking division of any sort against the government of the day under the guise of protecting his ‘structure’. The political structure to which he refers should not be rolled up with the structure of the government of Governor Fubara as one entity under anyone’s thumb.
“On our part, the Ijaw National Congress worldwide, at all levels and organs across Ijawland and the diaspora should be alive to the sacred responsibility of watching over and protecting the interests of our people anywhere and anytime.”

The organisation also praised Edwin Clarke, President Bola Tinubu, and a few other notable Nigerians for their involvement in the situation.
In order to preserve peace in Rivers State and the Niger Delta as a whole, it urged the state’s citizens to be watchful, unwavering, and to work with law enforcement.
