The Rivers State Governor, His Excellency Gov Nyesom Ezebunwo Wike has rejected the clemency, pleaded by the Youth Council Chairman in Rivers Chijoke Ihunwo on behalf of Mgbere Stanley.
Recall that the Rivers State government placed a #50m bounty on anyone who found Stanley Mgbere, who he said is an IPOB member that caused destruction in Rivers State.
The plead for Stanley Mgbere clemency came when Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, meet with all the 23 Local Government chairmen, Community Development Committees and youths leaders at the Government House, in Port Harcourt on Monday.
Rivers state governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, has charged the 23 council chairmen, and youths in the state to fish members of the proscribed Indigenous Peoples Organisation of Biafra (IPOB) in the State.
Governor has also warned that any council chairman that allows IPOB to hold processions and hoist its flag within their jurisdiction in Rivers State, risk sack.
He made this assertion during a meeting with all the 23 Local Government chairmen, Community Development Committees and youths leaders at the Government House, in Port Harcourt on Monday.
The governor described Rivers state as the most accommodating state for all Nigerians. To buttress this, he stated that here has never been any historical incident of different ethnic groups clashing in the State as has been the witnessed in other parts of the country.
The governor, while calling for vigilance on the part of Rivers people, however, warned sternly that IPOB members should not delude themselves because Rivers state cannot be colonised or annexed by any group, particularly, while he is still the incumbent governor of the State.
He asserted that Rivers state can never be annexed to any state, to any zone. According to him, Rivers state is Niger Delta and will remain in Niger Delta.
Meanwhile, Stanley Mgbere has released a video where he said that he is not a member of any terrorist group, he clarified that he is from Onne in Rivers State. He further explained that he didn’t lead any violent act, that the protests was done not only by the indigenes of Onne but by the entire people of Rivers state and Nigeria. He pleaded with the state government and local government that all the allegations against him are lies.
