The New Initiative for Credible Leadership, NILC has warned Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike to stop instigating Nigerians against President Muhammadu Buhari.

The group said a planned protest against Buhari on Thursday in Port- Harcourt is uncalled for. The group was reacting to announcement by facilitators of the protest tagged “Occupy Nigeria Season 2”, where they revealed that a protest was being planned against federal government’s inability to solve the perennial fuel scarcity in the country.

A statement from NILC, signed by Reverend Steven Onwu, dismissed calls for the protest saying it was apparent that the mass action was being sponsored by the Rivers State governor because President Muhammadu Buhari consistently maintained his neutrality in the state’s rerun poll instead of supporting Wike as he had expected.

“The issue between the Minister of Transport and immediate past governor, Rotimi Amaechi and Wike has reached its limit. It is the reason Wike is sponsoring the so called ‘Occupy Nigeria Season 2’ to both embarrass and sabotage the Federal Government.

“If this is Wike’s strategy of getting at President Buhari for not taking side in the rerun elections then it is very sad.

“Mr. President displayed the maturity expected of a statesman by neither siding with Amaechi nor Wike, so why should the governor now trying to burn the state simply to spite the FG,” it noted. NILC urged all those invited for the protest to ask critical questions before making themselves available.

“Our advice to student bodies, NGOs, CSOs, CBOs and any other person or group that have been contacted for this paid protest is that they should read between the lines and understand what it is they are asking for.

The economic situation in the land and the associated fuel crisis are already being dealt with from what is being reported in the media so what else is the protest meant to achieve?” the statement queried.

It further expressed concern for the safety of the city’s residents as it pointed out that violence leading to loss of life had been unleashed on the people under.
