Ijaw elders apologise to Wike for Fubara’s ‘bad behavior’

The IJaw Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Elders Forum has issued an apology to FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike concerning Fubara’s actions towards him in the state.

They expressed their apology to Wike on Saturday during a gathering at the Rivers State Ijaw Peoples Congress.

The elders, led by the Executive Director of Finance, NDDC, Boma Iyaye, said the Ijaw people were sorry for the bitter back-and-forth and disregard for the minister by the state governor, Siminalayi Fubara.

Recall that the state has been in a year long political crisis since Wike, now the FCT Minister, and Fubara, his successor as governor, fell out.

President Bola Tinubu and other prominent Nigerians have intervened to no avail.

The elders said: “On behalf of our people, we are apologising to you for what our son is doing to you.

“We are sorry. We are sorry o, because it is not in our nature to pay evil for good. You have done well for us, and we will continue to say, thank you.

“Your excellency, do not because of this bad behaviour of our son, run away from us. Continue to be our brother. Continue to have us in mind.

“We have never set our feet on the number one seat of Rivers State. You made it possible for us to become the governor of Rivers State.”
