The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has warned the Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, against implementing the peace deal initiated by President Bola Tinubu between him and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, over the crisis in the state.
PDP’s warning comes after Fubara, in a broadcast on Monday, said the resolution brokered by Tinubu to resolve the crisis was not a death sentence, adding that it would ensure lasting peace in the state.
He expressed his commitment to implement the agreement in such a way that would restore political stability in the state.
The PDP NWC in its reaction, faulted Fubara’s plan to implement Tinubu’s peace deal.
The party Deputy National Youth Leader, Timothy Osadolor, in an interview with the Punch, said the peace pact could not be implemented.
