In an interview on TVC, the president's spokesperson said the stakeholders should understand that Tinubu would not take sides on this matter and that all of them should focus on governance and delivering the dividend of democracy to the people of Rivers state until 2027 when politics will be discussed.

"If they are banking on Mr. President taking a side in this matter, they are mistaken and will be disappointed. He will ensure that everybody has what they need to work.

"He is also going to ensure that any attempt to deform or frustrate the operation of the Rivers state government from conducting its affairs in a way that will benefit the Rivers people is not allowed by the president."

President Tinubu had earlier resorted to political solutions to solve the crisis in the oil-rich state. Still, things soon fell apart between Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, who is now a serving minister under Tinubu's administration.
