The Ijaw leader, in a letter to the IGP, during a press briefing at his Asokoro residence, asked Egbetokun to arrest Wike over his threat to set fire in the states of governors of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Recall, that Wike, while speaking at the PDP secretariat in Port Harcourt, the state capital, on Saturday during the party’s state congress, warned the PDP governors to stay clear of the party’s affairs in Rivers.

Reacting, Clark said that the words of the former Rivers State governor marked a flagrant disrespect to the person of President Bola Tinubu, who appointed him. He described Wike’s comments as a form of treason, capable of inciting violence in the country.

According to the elder statesman, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore, and #EndBadGovernance protesters had been arrested for similar offences.

He insisted that the IGP must do the same with the FCT minister and get him to retract his statements.
