Rivers Crisis: Sule Lamido Reacts To Tinubu’s Peace Accord With Heavy Accusation Against The President

Former Jigawa State Governor and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Alhaji Sule Lamido, has accused President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of coercing Rivers State Governor, Mr. Siminalayi Fubara, to sign peace accords at the Presidential Villa on Monday.

In a statement shared on his Facebook page, Lamido alleged, “What President Tinubu did in the so-called peace meeting is not brokering peace in Rivers State, but using his office to enhance the fortunes of his political party.”

Lamido further claimed that “the documents Gov Fabura of Rivers State signed were under an environment not friendly to real conflict resolution and were presided over by the force of fear, intimidation, and blackmail.”

The PDP chieftain criticized Tinubu for diverting attention from primary presidential responsibilities to focus on protecting and promoting the All Progressives Congress (APC).

“There many areas yearning for peace in the country where President Tinubu’s political expertise, sagacity and wisdom is needed. What skills has he applied to stop the killings of citizens in Nigeria, which is his primary responsibility which he has conveniently looked away.

“Unwittingly, the so-called peace accord in Rivers only planted the mines which will definitely explode in the not too distant future with collateral consequences on the entire country. Asari Mujaheed Tokubo and Chief Edwin Clark have alluded to this last week”.

Sule Lamido referenced a statement attributed to Chief Edwin Clark during a press conference, stating, “If Tinubu, as the then Governor of Lagos, could stand up and fight President Obasanjo’s awesome power and personality and endure to overcome, can’t PDP do likewise?”

In response to Clark’s statement, Lamido suggested that the PDP must begin to combat this illegality through the country’s justice system and explore all other legal means available.

The former Jigawa State governor further revealed, “Gov Fubara may wish to know that President Tinubu, who chaired the meeting, was running with the hare and hunting with the hound. Therefore, shred the document and toss it into the trash can.”

“The PDP National Executive should feel sufficiently embarrassed if not slighted by the action taken by President Tinubu to reward a political mercenary with PDP fortunes in Rivers State.

“More to the eternal shame of PDP NWC that a tribal voice of Ijaws through Chief Edwin Clark press conference has to be deployed to challenge the illegality and unconstitutionality of the peace accord”.

“If the National Executive of the PDP does not have the nerve to stand up and protect its own, it should honorably step down to allow for the election of competent hands,” he added.
