At the weekend, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and former Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, said that his camp had accepted the directives given by President Bola Tinubu during his intervention in the political crisis in the state.
He added that he had fulfilled every condition in the peace accord he signed alongside the incumbent governor, Fubara.
The minister said this during his visit to the palace of the Oba of Ogbaland.
He was accompanied to the Palace of the Oba of Ogbaland by Senator Sam Anyanwu, Senator Barinada Mpigi and Chief Victor Giadom, Timipire Sylva, Minister of State for Petroleum, Senator Heineken Lokpobiri and Felix Obuah.
Tinubu had intervened in the political crisis rocking Rivers State involving Wike and Governor Fubara.
The President got Wike and Fubara to sign a peace accord after a round of meetings at the Aso Villa in Abuja on December 18, 2023.
Wike and Fubara agreed that all matters instituted in courts by Fubara and his team would be withdrawn immediately.
Wike’s camp also agreed that all impeachment proceedings initiated against the governor by the Rivers State House of Assembly would be dropped immediately
The parties in the feud resolved to recognise the leadership of Martin Amaewhule in the Rivers State House of Assembly and 26 other lawmakers who had defected to the All Progressives Congress because of their loyalty to Wike, and not that of Edison Ehie.
