- Ngelale said anyone who thinks that President Tinubu would take their side in the political crisis would be disappointed
The presidency has said President Bola Tinubu will not pitch his tent with any of the parties involved in the political crisis in Rivers State.
Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to President Bola Tinubu, Ajuri Ngelale, made this known during an interview on TVC.
He stated that neither the State governor Siminalayi Fubara nor his predecessor, Nyesom Wike both of whom have been at loggerheads would get the support of President Tinubu.
Ngelale said anyone who thinks that President Tinubu would take their side in the political crisis would be disappointed.
According to him, President Tinubu won’t allow any move that undermine the Rivers government from conducting its affairs.
He said: “I believe that anyone who believes that by their actions, whether it’s from the federal level, state level or the legislative branch in the state or the executive branch in the state, if they are banking on Mr. President to take sides on this matter, they’re mistaking and they’ll be disappointed.
“Mr. President will not do that. What he will do is to ensure that everybody has what they need in order to work.
“He will also ensure that any attempt to frustrate the operation of the Rivers State government in conducting its affairs in a way that it would benefit the Rivers people, that’s obviously is not going to be allowed by this President or anybody else.
“So, I think there’s a need for all stakeholders to understand that Mr President won’t take sides.”
