President Bola Tinubu has informed Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, that he would not take sides in the present political turmoil in Rivers State.
The President, through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, stated that anyone who expected President Tinubu to support them during the current crisis would be disappointed.
Ngelale revealed this in an interview with TVC, emphasizing that Tinubu will not tolerate any attempts to undermine the Rivers State Government.
“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’re banking on Mr. President to take sides on this matter, they’re mistaken 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 by conducting its affairs in a way that would benefit the Rivers people, that’s obviously 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,” he added.
