The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has said President Bola Tinubu will not intervene again in the ongoing political crisis involving Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
Wike made the statement on Tuesday while speaking to journalists after inspecting ongoing infrastructure projects in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. His comments followed a fresh peace meeting brokered by President Tinubu between him and Governor Fubara at the Presidential Villa on Sunday night.
Addressing questions on the Rivers political impasse, Wike said the President stepped in as a father figure and peacemaker, but emphasised that such intervention should not become a regular occurrence.
According to him, the President has shown considerable goodwill toward the people of Rivers State by intervening in the dispute between the executive and the legislature.
“This is the second time Mr President has intervened,” Wike said. “By the grace of God, I believe this will be the last time.”
He added that he had directed members of the Rivers State House of Assembly to comply with the President’s directive, expressing confidence that they would do so without hesitation.
Wike further stated that he expects the crisis to be laid to rest permanently, noting that Nigerians should not continue to witness such political disagreements in the state.
