Enemies Of Nigeria Behind Protests Against Wike – Group

A group, the Niger Delta Situation Room (NDSR), has condemned orchestrated protests against the minister of the Federal Capital Territory ( FCT), Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, describing it as being sponsored by enemies of Nigeria.

NDSR, in a statement made available to LEADERSHIP in Port Harcourt yesterday, was reacting to the protests at the National Assembly on Wednesday, December 6, 2023, calling for Wike‘s resignation.

The statement, which was signed by the group‘s spokesman, Senibo Isaac Green, described the organisers of the protests as political jobbers and members of the criminal cartel that held the FCT and the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) in a vice grip, engaging in both land racketeering and embezzlement of funds running into billions of naira from the FCT.

It disclosed that persons from a particular section of the country have been having sleepless nights ever since the FCT Minister, upon his appointment, rolled up his sleeves and went to work committed to clean up the auguean stable of sleaze and corruption which the FCT had been turned into.

The group noted that the protesters and their sponsors panicked as a result of Wike‘s famed no nonsense attitude and dedication to work, and resorted to all manner of campaigns of blackmail and calumny to distract former Rivers State governor.

The statement said: „Earlier we had seen a resort to wiping up religious and ethnic sentiments against the minister and the spreading of unfounded lies and baseless propaganda, all in a bid to cast the FCT minister in a bad light“.

The group refuted claims by the protesters that the indigenous people of the FCT were unhappy with the land reforms instituted by Wike, to recover lands recklessly stolen from both the indigenes and the government, describing it as a bare faced lie borne out of wishful thinking and promoted by fears that the years of misdeed by the cabal of land racketeerers, will be exposed by Wike.

NDSR wondered why the security agencies has chosen to turn a blind eye to the nefarious activities of these agents of doom and darkness and their sponsors, who are vehement in pushing the country into the abyss of chaos and anarchy.
