The Ijaw National Congress has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to call the FCT Minister, Mr Nyesom Wike, to order over his comments on the Ijaw.
The INC was reacting to alleged comments credited to Wike in which he said the Ijaw people ”were a minority of minorities in Rivers and other South South States except Bayelsa”.
In a statement in Abuja on Friday, the National Publicity Secretary, INC, Chief Ezonebi Oyakemeagbegha, said that the congress had taken note of the FCT minister’s remarks.
”We will maintain peace and stability as we call on President Tinubu to caution him and redirect his focus to his ministerial duties.
“The INC remains committed to preserving the harmony enjoyed by all in the Niger Delta region.
“We have taken note of the recent remarks made by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory.
