ABUJA— President Bola Tinubu, yesterday, waded into the rift between Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State and his immediate predecessor, Mr Nyesom Wike, which has plunged the state into a political crisis.
Mohammed, who is the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party Governors Forum, PDP-GF, also disclosed that the opposition governors had resolved to work with the President because he has shown good faith by not interfering with governorship cases brought before the courts by PDP members.The peace moves followed the confirmation of Kayode Egbetokun as the substantive Inspector General of Police, IGP, by the council.
Other state governors at the meeting were Yahaya Bello , Dapo Abiodun , Ahmadu Fintiri , Bala Mohammed , Abdullahi Abba , and Bassey Otu . A reported crisis between Fubara and Wike is said to have led to moves by 24 members of the Rivers State House of Assembly to impeach Governor Fubara, resulting in turbulence in the state on Monday, as the governor’s loyalists stormed the Assembly complex in protest against the plot.
Ologunagba said: “The NWC urges all PDP members and supporters to be calm and assures that it has commenced processes, using the party’s internal conflict resolution mechanisms to ensure that all matters and areas of disagreement are addressed. “Our dear governor is a technocrat with robust civil service background, kind-hearted and a very humane person, who does things according to laid-down rules and with the fear of God.
The forum also offered its platform to Governor Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, for resolution of other issues at the meeting held at Oyo State Governor’s Lodge, Asokoro. “The meeting noted the recent judgement of the Supreme Court on the 2023 presidential election and believes that this brings an end to the presidential election cycle as there must be an end to litigation.On pending cases in courts, Governor Mohammed said: “As a forum, we believe and re-state our faith and confidence in the judiciary to do justice in political and other cases before the courts.
“The meeting vowed to reposition and strengthen PDP as a viable opposition political party ready and willing to play its role as the vanguard of the Nigerian people for democracy, good governance and accountability.
