Wike Can Say Anything Under Alcohol Influence Ijaw Nation President

The President of the Ijaw Nation Congress, Professor Benjamin Okaba, has described the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, as a careless speaker who could say anything under the influence of alcohol.

Prof Okaba said this in response to Wikes claim that the Ijaws are a minority ethnic group in Nigeria.

Wike recently made a controversial comment while addressing journalists about the political crisis involving him and Siminalayi Fubara, an Ijaw man who succeeded him as governor of Rivers State.

Speaking on Arise Televisions The Morning Show on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, the Professor of Sociology dismissed Wikes remark as a careless comment.
