Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has
said he and members of his camp have fulfilled their part of the peace deal
initiated by President Bola Tinubu on the political crisis in Rivers State.
This is as he stated that all parties involved in the
political crisis had endorsed the presidential proclamation.
Wike stated this on Saturday when he visited the Oba of
Ogbaland in the Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area of Rivers, Eze Nnam Obi III.
Addressing the monarch, the immediate past Rivers State
Governor said he is interested in the peace and unity of the state and promised
not to let him down.
“We accepted whatever decision Mr. President has taken and
we have on our own part fulfilled every condition given by Mr President because
I told you I will not let you down.
“It is just to let you know that your request of making sure
there is peace in the state of which you asked Mr President to intervene, we
have accepted.
“And I want you to use this opportunity to continue to pray
for Mr President for God to continue to give him wisdom to pilot the affairs of
this nation,” Wike stated.
He praised Tinubu for wading into the crisis in the state
saying it shows his interest in the peace of the state, even as he promised
never to disobey him.
Wike added, “He is not from this state. So many people have
piloted the affairs of this country, crisis has engulfed other states and you
hardly would see somebody to come out and say irrespective of the political
party, I need peace in the state.
“If there is peace in the states, it will help peace in
Nigeria. So, I will urge you and your council to continue to pray for Mr
President for God to continue to give him wisdom to pilot the affairs of the
country.”
The former Rivers State Governor was accompanied by the Minister of Petroleum Resources (Oil), Heineken Lokpobiri; and a former Bayelsa State Governor, Chief Timipre Sylva.
Others are Senator Sam Anyanwu, Senator Barinada Mpigi and
National Vice Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, South-South, Chief Victor Giadom; and a former Rivers
State Peoples Democratic Party Chairman, Felix Obuah.
