TINUBU’S INTERVENTION IN RIVERS CRISIS WILL BE THE LAST- WIKE
Read Time:1 Minute, 34 Second
Nyesom Wike, the minister in charge of the Federal Capital Territory, says President Bola Tinubu’s recent action in the political situation in Rivers State is likely to end the long–lasting disagreement between the state‘s government and the legislature.
This statement comes as the presidency is once again trying to find a solution between the governor and the Rivers State House of Assembly, after several months of political conflict, threats of impeachment, and divisions within the state‘s legislative body.
Speaking on the matter on Tuesday, Wike described the president’s role as that of a father stepping in to resolve disputes between the state governor and the legislature.
“He is very kind to the people of the state. If there seems to be any problem between the legislature and the governor, as a father, he really has to intervene,” Wike said.
He mentioned that this was the second time Tinubu had personally stepped in to deal with the political conflict in Rivers and showed a lot of confidence that this new attempt would finally fix the problem once and for all.
“This is the second time Mr President is intervening and I believe by the grace of God that this will be the last time Mr President will intervene,” Wike said.
The former Rivers governor said he had already told the involved parties to follow the president‘s orders completely, and he was sure they wouldn’t refuse to obey.
“And I have told them to obey Mr President and I know that they would not hesitate,” he said.
Wike expressed optimism that Siminalayi Fubara, governor of Rivers, would fulfil his own part of the agreement or understanding reached during the presidential intervention.
“And I know that the governor would carry out his own part to make sure that this is the final time that Rivers people will hear this kind of discord,” he added.
