Tinubu Issues Strong Warning To Wike, Others Over Attempt To Frustrate Rivers State Government

The presidency has warned that any attempt to deform or frustrate the operation of the Rivers state government from conducting its affairs in a way that will benefit the Rivers people will not be allowed by the president.

The presidency has revealed its plan to President Bola Tinubu to ensure a fair, level playing field for the executive and the legislature in the renewed political crisis in Rivers state.

Ajuri Ngelale, the president’s spokesperson, disclosed that the president would not take sides in the crisis and that nobody should expect special treatment to address it.

Presidency sends words to Wike, Fubara

In an interview on TVC, the president’s spokesperson said the stakeholders should understand that Tinubu would not take sides on this matter and that all of them should focus on governance and delivering the dividend of democracy to the people of Rivers state until 2027 when politics will be discussed.

“If they are banking on Mr. President taking a side in this matter, they are mistaken and will be disappointed. He will ensure that everybody has what they need to work.

“He is also going to ensure that any attempt to deform or frustrate the operation of the Rivers state government from conducting its affairs in a way that will benefit the Rivers people is not allowed by the president.”

President Tinubu had earlier resorted to political solutions to solve the crisis in the oil-rich state. Still, things soon fell apart between Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, who is now a serving minister under Tinubu’s administration.

Naturenex had earlier reported that Nyesom Wike, the minister of the FCT, has confessed to making the mistake of nominating Governor Siminalayi Fubara as his success in Rivers state.

While begging the people to forgive him for making a wrong judgment, he vowed that correction would be made at the appropriate time.

Wike vowed that no court injunction would stop the law from taking its cause and that everything would be done at the right time.
