• Justifies Dickson’s visit, demand apology
Emmanuel Addeh in Yenagoa
The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) yesterday faulted Rivers State Governor, Mr. Nyesom Wike for threatening to dethrone the Amayanabo of Kalabari, Theophilus Princewill because Bayelsa State Governor, Mr. Seriake Dickson visited the monarch without informing Wike.
The council, the highest Ijaw youth organisation worldwide, therefore justified Dickson’s visit to Kalabari Kingdom, Rivers State, asked Wike to apologise to the Ijaw nation for disrespecting the monarch.
It demanded the apology in a statement by its President, Oweilaemi Pereotubo, asking the Rivers governor to stop the politicisation of a mere visit and apologise to the king.
There had been an altercation between both governors after Wike Wednesday accused Dickson of planning to cause crisis in the state due to his decision to visit the Amayanabo of Kalabari, King Theophilus Princewill without his approval.
