…Or support attempts to frustrate Gov. Fubara- Says Presidential spokesperson
President Bola Tinubu has said he would not take sides in the political crisis rocking both the Rivers State Governor, Siminialayi Fubara and members of Rivers State House of Assembly loyal to Minister of Federal Capital Territory Abuja, Nyesom Wike .
The Presidential spokesperson
Ajuri Ngelale stated this during an interview on TVC, insisting that Tinubu won’t allow any attempt to frustrate the Rivers State Government.
Tinubu was reported to have, however, advised the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, to face his job as the FCT Minister
Ngelale said anyone with the belief that the president would take side in the political crisis would be disappointed.
“I believe that anyone who believes that by their actions, whether it’s from the Federal level, State level or the legislative branch in the State or the executive branch in the state, if they are banking on Mr. President to take sides on this matter, they’re mistaken and they’ll be disappointed.
“Mr. President will not do that. What he will do is to ensure that everybody has what they need in order to work.
“He will also ensure that any attempt to frustrate the operation of the Rivers State Government of conducting its affairs in a way that it would benefit the Rivers people, that’s obviously not going to be allowed by this President or anybody else.
“So, I think there’s a need for all stakeholders to understand that Mr President won’t take sides.”
