Wike sends message to Rivers residents over rift with Fubara
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that the FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, advised residents of Rivers state against getting involved in any conflict involving politicians without knowing the cause.
Wike said this while addressing the congregation during a thanksgiving ceremony for George Kelly Alabo, the immediate past commissioner for works at the Kings' Assembly in Port Harcourt, Rivers state.
“Don’t get involved in any fight between 2 politicians without knowing the real cause of the quarrel,” Wike said.
Did Tinubu impose peace deal on Governor Fubara?
Also, Legit.ng reported earlier that President Tinubu had been accused of imposing the resolution reached at the presidential villa on Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
David Briggs, a former work commissioner, claimed to be in attendance at the villa meeting. He said Tinubu came into the meeting with the resolution written with him and described it as a presidential proclamation.
Briggs said Governor Fubara should not be blamed because he could not fight two battles simultaneously.
