Elder statesman and National Leader of the Pan-Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), Chief Edwin Clark, has asked the acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Umar Damagum, and the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, to dissociate themselves from the alleged attempt by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to bring down the government of Rivers State under Governor Siminalayi Fubara. Clark made the call in a letter dated May 20 and addressed to both party chairmen.

The letter was made available to the media yesterday. According to him, the letter was in the interest of peace and stability in the country, adding that the support given to Wike by both men resulted in the attempt to topple the Fubara-led administration.

The letter reads: “I am therefore appealing to you, in the interest of peace and stability in Nigeria to disassociate yourselves from the plan by Wike for no just cause to bring down the government of his successor, Governor Fubara. “I strongly advise both of you to retrace your steps and take charge of your political parties in Rivers State and not leave it for Wike who is neither PDP or APC.”
