President Tinubu Should Be Neutral Amid Wike And Governor Fubara’s Fight – Yekini Nabena

Erstwhile Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Yekini Nabena has come out to urge President Bola Tinubu not to interfere in the political tension between the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike and Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, Tinubu and the ruling APC should respect the constitution of Nigeria and allow Ondo and Rivers to sort out their problems, else he could be tagged a dictator.

Yekini added that the president should not be seen playing politics with Rivers and Ondo states.

His words, “President Tinubu who believe in the political or social equality of all people and practice the principle of equality of rights must not play politics with Rivers and Ondo states. The constitution of our nation must be recognised and respected at this time in Rivers and Ondo states.

The All Progressives Congress should also look into the party constitution carefully, bearing in mind that the National Working Committee of our party does not have powers to dissolve an elected chairman and his executive in Rivers.

We are democrats and not dictators in APC. So we should be mindful of our actions. The implications of this action in River state might be dangerous for our party in the near future if the right thing is not done quickly now, if not, what happened before in 2019 will happen again with litigations here and there.”
