The Nation Newspaper Fubara, Wike feud: Tinubu, PDP governors mediate
Feuding Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor Nyesom Wike met and exchanged pleasantries at Aso Villa, 24 hours after their disagreement boiled over in Port Harcourt.
The PDP governors left the meeting venue at Aso Villa for another meeting at Oyo State House, at the end of which Governor Mohammed briefed reporters on the outcome. “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.
“On the national economy, the meeting urgently requested the patriotic intervention of the Federal Government to stabilise the Naira, control inflation, stem the unemployment crises, and bring more succour to Nigerians. “We find this to be very good and going forward, we pledge that we’re going to work with him to bring good governance to the people of Nigeria.”
The governor, who had stormed the Assembly complex, alleged a security breach against him as chief security officer of the state.The Rivers government denied reports that Fubara had sacked some of his aides and local government chairmen. “We, therefore, ask Rivers people and the general public to jettison such unconfirmed reports as the public will be properly informed of who may have been removed by His Excellency at the appropriate time.”
“Please, let’s be guided as we seek information and news managers should always verify their stories before going to the public space.”However, Fubara vowed to resist any attempt to disrupt governance in the state under the cover of impeachment. It called on President Tinubu and Inspector-General Egbetokun Olukayode to redeploy the Rivers State Commissioner of Police.
Some youths kept vigil at the main gate of the Government House and continued to barricade the area yesterday. She condemned the moves to impeach the governor, saying it was outrageous that only six months into the administration, some people would consider such action. “It was bizarre to see Nigeria Police personnel let loose their water canon and teargas canisters on the Rivers State Governor. I condemn it in very clear terms.”
He said: “I also completely condemn the unwarranted disruption of normal governmental activities by politically motivated interest. “In good conscience, impeachment issues cannot arise in less than five months of incumbency. It sends the wrong signal that our state is a land of theatrics. “I also appeal to members of RSHA to focus on the business of law-making and get less distracted by the pursuit of personal ego or narrow pecuniary interest.
“If not, we are going to destroy this building because it was built by Rivers State money. He has been suspended and he should go back to his house. While trying to stop them from burning the house, the police operatives were said to have shot in different directions, leading to chaos that injured many of them.Youths mainly from the Ijaw extraction have been occupying the main gate of the Rivers Government House in Port Harcourt.
He said one of the youths and Chairman, the National Youth Council of Nigeria , Rivers State chapter, Chijioke Ihunwo and many others were arrested and thrown into a cell.
