The immediate past Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has said that Governor Similayi Fubara is not an Ijaw man.

Wike stated this while addressing a large number of Kalabari people at a reception organized for him on Saturday.

Recall that Wike had recently claimed that an Ijaw man would not have become governor in Rivers State without his , talking about Fubara.

Wike said the Ijaw ethnic group does not constitute the majority in any of the Niger Delta states except Bayelsa.

The statement came amid the ongoing political crisis in the Rivers State, with Wike and Fubara at the center of the feud.

In the same interview, Wike said that people from the Opobo clan of Rivers State, where the governor comes from, are not real Ijaw people.

Speaking to the Kalabaris on Saturday, Wike was more direct, saying, “Let nobody deceive you that the governor is Ijaw; he is not. All of you are Ijaw; are you benefiting? Politics is interest.

“We must come up to say people must not behave and treat people, used and dump them and then you say it’s politics. That politics has to stop.”

Wike is a childish man.

This is madness.

In fact, Wike is a man.

He has arrogated to himself the power to determine who is Ijaw and who is not.

Wike is now a true disciple of Tinubu's 'Emilokan' tribal and ethnic bigotry, a brand of bitter politics that promotes hatred and extreme tribal and ethnic division.

Wike will not end well.

Only God knows why Wike is really bitter

Anybody who takes Wike serious needs to have his head checked.

It seems Wike is now the ultimate decider of ethnic identities
First it was Ikwerre are not Igbo
Now it's Fubara is not Ijaw
Let's hope he will not one day say Tinubu is not a Lagosian, he's from iragbiji one is these days

Only God knows why woke is really bitter

He said the truth na. If opobo were real Ijaw people they would have been part of Bayelsa when they were splitting rivers into rivers and bayelsa.

Yet the Mumu Fubara that u are all ing was singlehandedly picked by Nyesom Wike without any input from u & them.

Have u checked your own head, Charity they say begins @ home.

Wike is smart though he has lose mouth but Wike is very very smart...he says what's in his mind not giving a aloot about ur feelings

Judging by your logic, if Kwara people were Yoruba or the Okun people were Yoruboid, they would have been classed with the south west, and not north central.

jflower06:

Kwara is a whole state while Opobo is a clan

There's no fixed rules for creating state,but notwithstanding it's usually based on geographical setting rather than tribal or clannish settings.

Guy true true confirmed, you need a head check ASAP.

So, the famous King Jaja of Opobo
was not Ijaw?

That is laughable. Wike talks
before he thinks
.

Wike is a drunk
.

Simple question!!! 😂... you simply can't answer it because your folly will be laid bare for all to see...

Wike has learnt tribalism, divide & rule tactics from the sophisticators.

He is lying again after claiming before the election that he "ed" an Ijaw man to become Governor

Now, he is no more an Ijawman. Since the Ijaws through their Chiefs & associations have made a bold attempt to stand behind SIM,nothing is left for the drunkard other than tribalism & division

He knows he has failed already

Wike is really on deep pain.

Wike is just petty. This is the useless and disgusting character that wants to be a President.

Fubara thank you foe exposing this charlattan and lout to Nigerians.

Imagine Wike being a President of this country.

Fubara is actually dealing with him.

For u to be talking every day without resting,it means u are troubled,worried and dying.

See how Fubara is calm and quiet...this one wan kill himself.

Your political future is just dead in that state.

Jaja of Opobo was an Igboman and Wike have indirectly told the world that Fubara is Igbo too not Ijaw.In fact most people claiming to be Ijaw in Rivers state are biologically ethnic Igbos.

clueless wailer and manipulator, so tell me which tribe is governor Fubara. Fubara has disgraced you times without number, you are just ranting and wailing niii. Fubara is an ijaw man and prove that to the world. Ijaw tribe is the largest tribe in the niger delta

People can clearly see that some persons in this nairaland are lunatics and as mad as wike.

What so the ijaws in Ondo ,akwa ibom and other places that did not bayemda are what?

Opobo and bonny are ibani peoptof ijaws.

Nonsense divide and rule politics.

Weak man like wike . Fubara an ijaws man is the governor. Wike can hang himself

This is pitiable because wike doesn't know what he doing presently. All these statements would be very very catastrophic to him and his ambitions in future. Internet does not forget. He will be reminded and he go explain tire by then.

What has that got to do with what is going on, he said the ijaw are minority in Rivers State so why is he pulling SIM from the ijaw, Wike you need to grow up the reason for this thanksgiving was just to tongue lash Sim you never said anything about the thanksgiving shame on you.
