Former Rivers State Governor and current Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, visited the Oba of Ogbaland, Eze Nnam Obi III, assuring unwavering commitment to peace in the state.
Wike stated that his camp fulfilled all conditions set by President Bola Tinubu to end the political crisis, expressing gratitude for Tinubu’s intervention.
“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 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 former Rivers State governor said.
Commending Tinubu for his intervention in the political face off between him and his successor in office, Governor Siminalayi Fubara, Wike added, “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 to 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 affaires of the country.”
The statement follows ongoing tensions with Wike’s successor, Governor Siminalayi Fubara, involving legal battles and political maneuvering within the state assembly.
