“I’ve obeyed Tinubu’s instructions on Rivers State’s Crisis” – Wike
Former Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has claimed that he has fulfilled all the conditions set by President Bola Tinubu on the Rivers State political crisis. He made the claim barely two days after Simi Fubara went to meet the president for the second time.
Rivers State has been thrown into a political tumult as Wike and Fubara used their proxies to slug it out. Wike has made a statement which indicates that the crisis is yet from being over.
“We accepted whatever decision Mr President has taken and we have on our own part fulfilled every condition given by Mr President because I told you I will not let you down.
“It is just to let you know that your request of making sure there is peace in the state of which you asked Mr President to intervene, we have accepted. And I want you to use this opportunity to continue to pray for Mr President for God to continue to give him wisdom to pilot the affairs of this nation.”
The Federal Capital Territory minister made the assertion when he visited the palace of Oba of Ogbaland along with Senator Sam Anyanwu, Senator Barinada Mpigi and Chief Victor Giadom, Timipire Sylva, Minister of State for Petroleum, Senator Heinekin Lopobiri and Felix Obuah.
The former governor commended Tinubu for the role he has played to douse tension in the state. He said the president shunned partisan politics to let peace reign in the state.
Wike said, “He is not from this state. So many people have piloted the affairs of this country, crisis has engulfed other states and you hardly would see somebody come out and say irrespective of the political party, I need peace in the state.
“If there is peace in the states, it will help peace in Nigeria. So, I will urge you and your council to continue to pray for Mr President for God to continue to give him wisdom to pilot the affairs of the country.”
