WITHIN NIGERIA reported that Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his immediate predecessor and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, on Monday evening, agreed to end the political crisis rocking the state.
The agreement was reached after President Tinubu and other stakeholders met with the two warring factions.
Speaking on TV after the resolution was signed, Ngelale said the President acted as the father of the nation.
“The motive of the President in this case is clearly not a political one. He’s the father of the nation.
“He’s the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. It’s his primary responsibility to ensure that there’s peace, stability and security in all parts of the country.
“If he sees that peace is breaking down in any part of the country, this is a President that will take action. But nobody should be mistaken, His Excellency, Mr President, was fully ready and equipped to take a very hard action if this resolution was not reached.
“So it is of great relief to the Rivers people and Nigerians at large that a resolution has been reached.”
