Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Wing has called on President Bola Tinubu to intervene in the ongoing crisis in Rivers State.

The apex Igbo socio-cultural organization appealed to the President to caution Nyesom Wike, the Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), over his involvement in the political crisis.

Rivers Governor Siminalayi Fubara had claimed that the recent attempted bombing at the Hotel Presidential in Port Harcourt, where members of the National Assembly were lodged, was a deliberate attempt to create chaos in Rivers.

He accused the supporters of Wike for being responsible for in the failed bombing, describing them as haters.

Speaking at a meeting with a delegation from the Senate Committee on Privatisation and Commercialisation at the Government House in Port Harcourt, Fubara noted that the failed bombing was part of a larger plot to justify the call for declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State.

Fubara said, “As a matter of fact, let me tell you, I know of everything that is happening. Yesterday (Tuesday), they (protesters) were aware that you are in the state. So, there was an attempt to create a serious problem.”

The Ohaneze youth wing lamented over the crisis, stating that the intention of the plotters was to cause a breach of peace in a bid to derail Governor Fubara from providing leadership to the people.

In a statement, the youth wing stated, "Our attention has been drawn to the looming anarchy and the intention to cause a breach of peace in a bid to derail the executive Governor of River State, His Excellency, Sir Siminalayi Fubara from delivering his people oriented projects," the statement read.

"We are miffed by the audacity of the outgone Chairmen and their agents to disrupt Government activities in the Local Government Headquarters across the state by barricading the entrance to these Government facilities.

"Indeed, there is a saying in Igbo adage that says; if the oracle misbehaves it will be reminded that it was carved out of the wood."

"Nigeria is a Constitutional democracy," Ohanaeze Youths noted adding that "it is an aberration for anyone to attempt to play God in the affairs of men."

"Constitutionally, Governor Fubara, was elected to serve a four-year term, with a constitutional convention for a second term, just like the outgone Chairmen.

"Therefore, the Igbo youths call on Mr President to wade in to this brouhaha in bid to deescalate this tension."
