The Rivers State elders and leaders including a former Governor, Rufus Ada-George, and former Deputy Governor, Gabriel Toby, have rejected Tinubu’s intervention in the political crisis rocking the state.
They stated this in a communiqué read to newsmen after an emergency meeting in Port Harcourt, on Tuesday, in response to the presidential directive aimed at resolving the political crisis in the state.
The elders expressed worry that the intervention may have worsened the crisis in the state.
They said though they had previously called on the President to intervene in the feud between the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike and the state Governor, Siminialayi Fubara, they are at a loss as to whether his intervention has solved the problem or escalated it.
