“We therefore call on all Ijaw sons and daughters in Rivers State, in respective of party affiliation to rise up to defend Governor Sim Fubara. An injury to one is injury to all.
“We call on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to call on his Minister for FCT, Barr Nyesom Wike to order. If there is any breakdown of law and order, he should be held responsible because Ijaw Youths will fight with their last drop of our blood to stop the impeachment against Governor Sim Fubara.
“Therefore, we are calling on Ijaw Youths to resist any form of intimidation and fight back to defend our Ijaw Governor in Rivers State.”
