The Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has said President Bola Tinubu should be appreciated for intervening in the political situation in Rivers State.
Speaking during the 20th Wedding Anniversary/Thanksgiving of a former Rivers state Commissioner for Works, George-Kelly Alabo, at The Kings Assembly Church, on Sunday, Wike said it was strange that the same people who went to beg President Tinubu to intervene in Rivers State issues are the ones now saying he lacks the constitutional power to intervene.
You will recall that President Tinubu on Monday last week convened a peace meeting between Mr Wike, a former governor of Rivers State, and his successor, Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
At the meeting held at the Presidential Villa, an eight-point resolution was adopted.
Among the resolutions was that members of the Rivers State House of Assembly should withdraw the impeachment proceedings initiated against Governor Fubara.
Wike, who explained that he was not the one who went to the president to seek his intervention, added that the president must, however, be appreciated for his fatherly role.
He advised those taking sides in the political crisis not to fall for political lies and propaganda but to always seek the truth as he disclosed the stories of him making demands on the state are false.
