Egbesu Ijaws of Gbaramatu for Fubara Warns President Tinubu Over Fubara’s Suspension

The Egbesu Ijaws of Gbaramatu for Fubara have issued a stern warning to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over the suspension of Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, calling it an unconstitutional act that will not stand.

In a strongly worded statement, the group condemned what they described as an abuse of power orchestrated by the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, and vowed to resist any further marginalization of the Ijaw nation and warned that any further moves against Governor Fubara would lead to dire consequences for the nation’s economy, particularly in the oil-rich Niger Delta region.

The Egbesu Ijaws emphasized their readiness to take decisive action, citing recent bomb blasts as a demonstration of their resolve. They accused President Tinubu of being manipulated by Wike, describing him as a “puppet president” who is serving the interests of political actors against the will of the people.

They further stated that the deployment of military personnel to Rivers State would not intimidate them and insisted that the situation in the state has crossed the “red line.” The group vowed to continue resisting what they see as an attempt to undermine the political aspirations of the Ijaw people.

EGBESU IJAWS OF GBARAMATU FOR FUBARA WARNS PRESIDENT TINUBU

It is a common saying in our local parlance that whoever beats the drum of war must be ready to dance to its tune. When we echoed it that ‘Asawana’ is not a love song some people clearly took it a joke; but never knew Asawana judgment day has come, because we are going to show them the definition of the true spirit of Asawana.

Since the President fail to learn from the recent reply of Asawana in River State he should be ready our next reply. Again we have come to make it clear that the Unconstitutional suspension of our Son the duly elected Executive Governor of the State, His Excellency Sir Siminalayi Fubara and his Deputy for 6 months by the confused President Tinubu will not stand.

We will resist it with all our might, Nyesom Wike should tell his puppet that we are not afraid of the military men being deployed in River State because they will hear from Asawana.

We the Egbesu Gbaramatu Ijaws want to heedlessly state that this madness being exhibited by Nyesome Wike and his puppet president lacking in common sense, has reached a point of no return thus, the Egbesu Ijaws in and the Niger Delta will not sit idly and watch it continue anymore as we are now fully ready to put an immediate end to it, as in the coming days we shall be matching words with action as seen in the recent bomb blasts.

We want to make it abundantly clear to President Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu who has shown he is a tool of the FCT Minister Nyesome Wike, that his recent act of illegality and senseless abuse of power by declaring a state of emergency in the State and the hasty suspension of Governor Fubara is a joke taken too far and likened to an handshake beyond the elbow.

And by the action, the President and FCT Minister crossed the red line with the Ijaw Nation, therefore, should be ready to face the wrath of the Ijaw Nation and the devastating consequences that will crumble this Country before his very eyes.

Mr. Puppet president deploying Military men will not save you, we only just started yet the entire Nation is already running helter-skelter, but it is a pity that the President, security agencies and the Nation at large do not even know what is before them and the weapon they have activated by their stupid and thoughtless action. This is not a threat but a promise, especially to those who have drawn the battle line with the Ijaw nation.

In no distant time, the Nation shall be greeted with untold hardship, wanton destruction of national oil assets and the mother of insecurity in the creeks of the Niger Delta and in the hinterland of the Niger Delta and this will be such as never been seen before in recent history of our Country.

While the Military continues to get busy in Portharcourt, we shall continue to get busy in the creeks and all oil assets in the creeks of Delta state shall suffer the consequence of President Tinubu’s actions in declaring a state of emergency in River State.

At this juncture, it is pertinent we issue this very stern warning to the dramatic persons behind the scene and those acting out this very poorly scripted fictional dramatic piece that if this comic series is not halted immediately, with our son Governor Siminalayi Fubara reinstated back to the office to continue with his constitutional duties and mandate as the Executive Governor of Rivers State nobody should blame the Ijaws for how things will rapidly degenerate and we want to state it clearly that from now on anybody that goes close to any of the national infrastructures especially in the Niger Delta will be doing so at his or her own risk as the safety of these facilities is no longer guaranteed.

And finally, we want to state unequivocally for the benefit of those who love the counsel of the wise that, those who doubt the capacity of the Ijaws to cripple the Nation and bring it to a state of non-existence are the actual enemies of this Country, because we have our friends and allies scattered all over including the military and other nations ready to work hand in gloves with us to make good our threats and even if need be for us to declare our own republic.

If anyone forget so soon, we shall again remind the FCT Minister and his co-travelers that the Ijaw Nation hosts the majority of the oil facilities that make up the economic back-born of Nigeria and joking with the political aspiration of the Ijaw nation means the Federal Government is joking with her daily meal and survival.

One thing is certain, we are not taken anything off the table in this fight for the reinstatement of Governor Siminalayi Fubara, the first Ijaw man in history to become the Executive Governor of Rivers State including a declaration of own republic.

We want to reiterate and warn the general members of the public including members of the international community that from now on we will continue to visit national infrastructures especial oil and gas infrastructures in the Niger Delta with mayhem and anyone caught in these facility shall be victims of their own stubbornness.

Desperate times they say calls for desperate measures. It is only the stubborn fly that follows the corps to the grave; President Bola Tinubu be warned!
